Kościół św. Józefa w Krzeszowie

Kościół św. Józefa w Krzeszowie, Baroque church in Krzeszów, Poland.

The Church of St. Joseph in Krzeszów is an early Baroque single-nave building erected in 1690–1696 by builders M. Urban of Lubawka and M. Klein of Nysa. Shallow chapels with galleries above line both sides of the nave, and a deep monastic choir with an apse closes the north end. The south facade, topped by volutes and stone sculptures in niches, lost its towers soon after consecration; they were never rebuilt.

The church was built between 1690 and 1696 by builders M. Urban of Lubawka and M. Klein of Nysa. Its south facade towers collapsed soon after consecration and were never rebuilt. On 19 March 2021, Bishop Zbigniew Kiernikowski of Legnica declared it a diocesan sanctuary.

The painted decoration covers the nave, the deep monastic choir and the side chapels. The chapels on the left show the "joys" of Joseph, those on the right his "sorrows"; the biblical scenes are set in a Silesian landscape, and in the "Inn at Bethlehem" the innkeeper is a self-portrait of Michael Willmann.

The church remains an active place of worship, so visitors should be respectful and dress appropriately. Check opening times before your visit, as access may be restricted during services or religious celebrations.

In the "Gospoda w Betlejem" scene, the innkeeper's face is Michael Willmann's self-portrait. The side chapels are themed: "joys" of Joseph on the left, "sorrows" on the right, and the biblical scenes are set against the Silesian landscape. The church became a diocesan sanctuary on 19 March 2021.
