Church of SS Peter and Paul in Stopnica

The Church of SS Peter and Paul features limestone walls, buttresses, and multiple roof styles including gable, hip, domed, and shed configurations.

Built between 1350 and 1376 under Casimir the Great, the church replaced a 13th-century brick structure that had succeeded an 11th-century wooden temple.

The interior displays Gothic keystones with coats of arms, a 14th-century stone antepedium, and an early 16th-century baptismal font among its artifacts.

Located at Plac Józefa Piłsudskiego 1 in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, the church requires advance arrangements for guided tours of the premises.

The church underwent reconstruction after 1944 when it suffered 80% destruction, incorporating surviving elements from the original medieval building.
