Kościół św. Stanisława Biskupa w Postoliskach, Catholic church in Postoliska, Poland

Kościół św. Stanisława Biskupa w Postoliskach is a red-brick Neo-Gothic Catholic church in the centre of Postoliska, designed by Hugo Kuder. Its tall central tower, topped by a slender dark spire with a cross, has a round clock face and paired louvered openings; a large rose window sits above the pointed-arch entrance, and two lower flanking towers end in shorter spires.

A wooden church was founded here on 8 June 1540 by the cousins Stanisław Dąbrówka and Andrzej Postolski. The present neo-Gothic brick church was designed by Hugo Kuder; construction ran from 1913 to 1919, and it was consecrated on 26 May 1919 by Bishop Stanisław Gall. The tower, also designed by Kuder, was only completed in 1983–1985.

The parish was erected on 8 June 1540 by cousins Stanisław Dąbrówka, a canon of Vilnius and Pułtusk, and Andrzej Postolski. In 1920 two paintings were placed in the church: the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Arkadiusz Kowalewski, funded by Józef Czabański, and the Angel of Death by Wilhelm Kotarbiński, funded by Prince Michał Woroniecki of Dębinki. Fittings from the earlier wooden church were moved here.

The church sits in the village of Postoliska and can be reached on foot along the village paths. Keep in mind that access may be limited during services, baptisms, or weddings, so arriving outside those times gives you more freedom to look around.

During the Second World War the Germans ran a field hospital inside the church and set charges to blow it up before retreating; the parish priest Roman Bujalski and his mother got the plan stopped. The cemented holes where the explosives were placed can still be seen in the walls.
