Saint Joseph church in Międzygórze

Saint Joseph church in Międzygórze, Baroque church in Międzygórze, Poland.

Saint Joseph church in Międzygórze is a wooden log-construction church, not oriented, with a single nave, a narrower three-sided closed presbytery and a side sacristy. A narthex stands at the entrance, and the shingle roof carries an octagonal timber-frame bell turret topped with an onion dome, lantern and cross.

The church was built in 1740–1742 as a cemetery church in the centre of the village by local builders Friedrich Knietig of Wilkanów and Heinrich Ludwig of Pławnica, modelled on brick churches of the Kłodzko land. The bell turret was renewed in 1790–1792, and in the second half of the 19th century the presbytery ceiling was rebuilt and the interior decoration added. In 1924 carpenter Ignatz Herfort rebuilt the nave ceiling and a new slate roof, replaced with shingles in 2001.

The Stations of the Cross were donated in the 18th century as votive offerings after three months without rain. The main altar from the 1740s holds a painting of St Joseph and the child Jesus in a reredos shaped like a bouquet of leaves, carved by Hieronim Richter.

The church stands in the centre of Międzygórze, with a stone Baroque Crucifixion statue of 1781 in front of it and gravestones set into the surrounding wall. The building is not oriented and has no tower; the entrance is through a narthex. The roof and bell turret now carry shingles, the slate having been removed in 2001.

Until 2000 this was the only wooden church in the Sudetes with a slate roof. The roughly 1 m² greywacke slate slabs laid in 1924 came from the only such quarry in the mountains, near Jarnołtówek; they were removed in 2001 and replaced with shingles.
