The structure displays elements of Gothic Revival and Baroque Revival styles, featuring narrow pointed windows and balanced proportions, while the interior contains simple white walls and modest furnishings arranged to face the altar.
The church was built in 1813 during a period when earlier architectural styles were being revived, on a site that had served as a spiritual place with church buildings since at least 1269. Construction occurred under the direction of village owner Joseph von Fürstenberg and master builder Knappe, while the village of Trzebieszowice itself was first mentioned in historical records in 1264.
The church bears the name of Saint Andrew and reflects in its design the local craftsmanship traditions of the area. Visitors can observe how the modest window shapes and careful brickwork show the villagers' respect for quality work and solid construction methods.
The church is accessible by local roads and typically offers parking nearby, with entry available during prayer times and set opening hours. The quiet surroundings with green spaces make it easy to visit and comfortable to explore without crowds.
An interesting story involves the church's window design where a dispute between the village owner and the master builder over window shape was resolved by constructing tall narrow windows. This detail gives the building a distinctive appearance that echoes Gothic style while being executed with simple, straightforward construction.
