Description

The village of Bojanice is located about 5 kilometres south of the city of Świdnica. The church is situated in the north-eastern part of the village. 

The first mentions of a church on this site date back to 1370. The current Late Gothic church was constructed in 1514. In 1772, the church was redesigned in the Baroque style. A sacristy located north of the chancel was added in 1799. The church was restored in 1864-1865.

The church follows an aisleless design, its chancel being the same width as the nave. It was designed on a rectangular floor plan. Inside, the church features a pipe organ gallery. The chancel and the nave feature a flat wooden ceiling adorned with painted foliate decorations dating back to 1702. 

The building is covered with a gable roof clad with sheet metal. Above the nave there is an octagonal steeple with a lantern on top. 

The interior furnishings are designed in a mixture of Late Baroque and Classicist styles, comprising, inter alia, a wooden, polychromed main altarpiece, the painting of Jesus Ascension as well as a bell dating back to 1796.

Next to the church there is an old cemetery (no longer in use), surrounded by a buttressed stone wall with a small gate. A penitential cross is built into one of the counterforts. On the internal side of the wall there is a linden tree line, the trees are estimated to be approximately 240 years old.

The church is usually closed; it may be viewed from the outside without limitations, while its interiors may be explored before or after church service.
