The parish church in Bardo is an interesting example of classicist architecture from the second half of the 18th century.

Inside, valuable 18th century furnishings have been preserved (Rococo side altars, a classicist pulpit and sculptures).

History

The village of Bardo was first mentioned in 1311, when the then heir Niemir from Szczytniki ceded part of the estate to the Cistercians from Ląd. At the beginning of the 17th century, Adam Bardzki sold part of Bardo to Marcin Skrzetuski. The Bardzki family appeared as the owners of ½ of the village in 1633. The manor house in Bardo was mentioned in 1629. In 1651 through the marriage of Marianna Skrzetuska and Franciszek Młodziejowski the estate passed into the hands of the Młodziejowski family. In 1664 Kasper Młodziejowski sold Bardo to Krzysztof Ossowski. Later, the village was owned by the Zbijewski family, in the first half of the 18th century - the Drachowski family, and then - the Suchorzewski family of the Zaremba coat of arms. At the end of the 18th century or at the beginning of the next century on the initiative of Wincenty Suchorzewski, captain of the army, a new manor house was built in Bardo. The next owners of the estate were the Jackowski family (coat of arms Gozdawa), who sold Bardo in 1888 to the Hutten-Czapski family, who remained the owners until 1939.

The church in Bardo was founded and furnished by the Bardzki family probably already in the 13th century. The parish was separated from the Biechów parish at the turn of 13th/14th century. In 1399 parson Wojciech was mentioned. During the Reformation, around 1570, Krzysztof Bardzki handed over the temple to the Protestants. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Bardzki family returned to the Catholic Church and gave the church back to the Catholics. The building was devastated in 1630, temporarily closed in the following years, then reopened after repairs. Visitation records from 1695 described it as wooden, shingled, and bearing the invocation of St. John.

The brick church preserved to this day was erected in 1783. Its founder was Ignacy Suchorzewski, the then heir of Bardo. (According to other sources - the church was built at the beginning of the 19th century thanks to the efforts of Ignacy Suchorzewski’s son - Wincenty). On 9 May 1848 the act of surrender was signed in the temple, ending the fights of the Spring of Nations in the Wielkopolska region. In 1918, Cardinal Edmund Dalbor solemnly consecrated the church. In 1930, Franciszek Hutten-Czapski founded the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In 2005, the church underwent a full-scale renovation.

Description of the structure

The church in Bardo is situated in the southern part of the village, on a high hill, on the western side of the local village road. The chancel of the church faces north. The area surrounding the church - the former churchyard - is fenced with a new fence made of metal grids set on a low wall between plastered posts. The tombstones of Franciszek Hutten-Czapski and his wife Anna and of Katarzyna Manicka, who died in 1875, have been preserved in the cemetery. Near the church is a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus from 1930. This sculpture was damaged in 1944. In 2007 it was moved to its present place and repainted. In 2013, the statue was fully reconstructed and restored.

The church was built on a rectangular floor plan as a three-nave building with a short chancel equal in width to the nave and closed on three sides. Behind the chancel there is a sacristy on a square floor plan. At the nave from the east and west - two small semicircular altar apses, from the south - an annex on a rectangular floor plan. The nave and the chancel are covered with a high gable roof with a flag, which bears the date 1688, and a three-hipped roof over the sacristy and half-domed roofs over the side apses.

The church is a brick building. The walls are covered with plaster on both sides. The roofs of the nave and chancel as well as the sacristy are covered with ceramic tiles, the roofs of the altar apses are covered with sheet metal. The main nave and the chancel are covered with false barrel vaults, the side aisles have flat wooden ceilings with a soffit. The altar apses are conch vaulted, and the vault over the sacristy is sail vaulted.

The plastered elevations are divided by pilasters supporting the entablature. The entrances are covered with simple surrounds, the windows are closed with semicircular arches. The annex in front of the southern elevation has a recessed portico supported by four columns, with the main entrance to the church in the axis. Above the portico there is a semicircular window with a rich arrangement of rungs, covered with a profiled frame. Above the annex there is a balcony with an iron classicist balustrade. Above, you can see the gable of the nave, divided by pilasters, framed by volutes and topped by a triangular pediment. The side elevations are tri-axial. Semicircular altar apses on the extreme north axes. In the closing of the chancel one window closed with a semicircular arch.

The interior is divided into naves by columns, supporting the false barrel vault. Above the side aisles - simple ceilings. On the southern side there is a choir gallery supported by a pair of columns. From the original furnishings, from the previous church, two Rococo side altars have been preserved. In the altars there are 18th-century paintings of St. Joseph and St. Stanislaus, and St. Anthony and the Virgin Mary. Also worth mentioning are the 18th century sculptures of the Lamentation, the Risen Christ and six statues of saints from the old altar. Of the newer furnishings, a classicist pulpit has survived.

Visitor access. The church is open to visitors. More information about the parish and the Holy Mass schedule can be found on the website of the Gniezno Archdiocese: www.archidiecezja.pl.
