Sacred Heart church in Gorzkowice

Sacred Heart church in Gorzkowice, Gothic Revival church in Gorzkowice, Poland.

The Sacred Heart church in Gorzkowice is a Neo-Gothic brick building designed by Konstanty Wojciechowski and built between 1896 and 1898. It has three naves, five marble altars, a carved pulpit, and a figure of St. Peter in chains opposite it. The high altar and the mensas of four side altars are of dark Kielce marble, with oak superstructures; the tabernacle is bronze and the white baptismal font is Carrara marble.

The previous wooden church burned down in 1895, set alight by a spark from a steam locomotive. The present Neo-Gothic church was built in 1896–1898 to a design by Konstanty Wojciechowski, funded by a 25,000-ruble compensation and parish contributions raised by Father Ignacy Kasprzykowski. It was consecrated on 11 November 1902 by Bishop Henryk Piotr Kossowski, and the side altars were consecrated on 20 June 1911 by Bishop Stanisław Zdzitowiecki.

The parish takes its name from the Sacred Heart of Jesus and belongs to the Gorzkice deanery of the Archdiocese of Częstochowa. Inside, a painting of Ecce Homo made before 1798 and an 18th-century wooden crucifix in a rococo frame survive from the earlier church. The side altars were consecrated on 20 June 1911 by Bishop Stanisław Zdzitowiecki.

The church stands in the centre of Gorzkowice, in the deanery of the same name within the Archdiocese of Częstochowa. It is an active parish church, so visits are best timed around services rather than during them. The interior is entered through the main nave, with the five altars and the pulpit visible from the central aisle.

The church holds furnishings older than the building itself: an "Ecce Homo" painting made before 1798, an 18th-century wooden crucifix and a Rococo frame now holding a newer image. The previous wooden church burned in 1895, and these pieces survived to be moved into the new Neo-Gothic interior.
