Saint Bartholomew church in Andrzejewo, Gothic church in Andrzejewo, Poland.
Saint Bartholomew Church is a brick church in Andrzejewo built from 1526 to 1605 in the Vistula Gothic style. Its present stone tower replaced an older wooden one between 1992 and 1994. The interior holds a main altar from 1701 and four side altars from 1819.
Construction of the present brick church began in 1526 on the site of a wooden predecessor and lasted until 1605, when Wojciech Baranowski, bishop of Płock, consecrated it. The building was enlarged until the early 20th century. In 1966 it was restored through the efforts of parish priest Bolesław Kozłowski, and in 1992–1994 a new brick tower replaced the older wooden one under priest Józef Mierzejewski.
The parish belongs to the Czyżew deanery of the Łomża diocese, and the church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, whose painting from around 1730 hangs outside the altars. A feretron from 1810 and seven old chasubles are still kept, and a cape dated 1780 survives among the vestments.
The church stands in Andrzejewo in the Czyżew deanery of the Łomża diocese, in Masovian Voivodeship. The present brick tower dates from 1992–1994, when the interior was also renovated, so the west end differs from the older Gothic body. Visitors enter through the parish grounds; the interior holds the 1701 main altar and four 1819 side altars.
The main altar dates from 1701, and the church keeps two granite stoups, a Renaissance-style chalice from the late 16th century and a ciborium from 1620. Epitaphs commemorate Szymon Jabłonowski with his three successive wives and son (around 1648) and Stanisław Jabłonowski (1671).
