Church of Assumption of the Mother of God and Jan Kanty in Chroberz

On a small hill near the picturesquely meandering river Nida, there is a church whose external appearance does not reveal the treasures that are hidden inside the temple.

The church was erected in the 16th century thanks to the efforts of Stanisław Tarnowski - the castellan of Zawichoj, and later the starost of Sandomierz, who was also the heir of Chrobrz.

Today, the building surrounded by a wall consists of a nave, chancel and 2 chapels - from the north - the chapel of St. Jan Kanty from the 17th century and the 19th-century chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary.

However, be sure to look inside the church. It is impossible not to notice the 2 Renaissance tombstones dominating the entire interior, which are considered by art historians to be the most valuable examples of Renaissance art in Poland.

Both works were made by Jan Michałowicz from Urzędów, whose works you will also see, among others, in the Wawel Cathedral.

The founder of the church rests in the nave of the church. The tombstone, in accordance with the rules of Renaissance art, shows the person of the deceased in the pose of a sleeping man, leaning on his elbow. Below the statue you will see an impressive epitaph plaque.

In the presbytery, the parish priest of the Chrobesk church, Zbigniew Ziółkowski, is commemorated.
