Church of st. Apostles Peter and Paul in Stopnica

A gothic church built on a hill on the western side of the square in Stopnica. During the Second World War, Stopnica was unfortunately in the heart of the war turmoil. As a result of the actions of the German army and the Red Army in 1944 and early 1945, the city was almost completely ruined.

The tragedy did not spare the temple, which was largely razed to the ground. Today, however, you can admire the parish church, rebuilt with the smallest details, which was built by the last Piast as a penitential church. It is a pseudo-double-nave building with a characteristic Gothic chancel, much smaller and narrower than the place for the faithful. In later years, a characteristic chapel was added to the south, covered with a characteristic dome with a lantern.

While inside, notice the vault that is characteristic of the Baryczkow churches. In the nave, it rests on two squat pillars. The original elements have been preserved in the vault, including an interesting keystone in the presbytery with the image of Casimir the Great himself.

Next to the church, there is a belfry, in the walls of which you will find a kind of lapidarium - stonework elements from the original temple that were not used during the reconstruction.
