church Krasowice

Address
Krasowice, 18

Location
woj. opolskie, pow. namysłowski, gm. Namysłów - obszar wiejski

One of the few surviving timber-frame churches, once very popular in this part of Silesia.It is set on the plan of a equilateral cross, with the pulpit as the most prominent element of the interior.

History

The Evangelical community built the church in 1620. It was renovated or rebuilt in 1852. Another renovation, the date is imprinted on the vane, was carried out in 1911 (a wall base was added and some interior painting). Until WW2, almost all the villagers were of Evangelical persuasion. After their displacement, the church was taken over the Roman Catholic parish in Przeczów. As part of the renovation work in the 1970s, the original shingle roofing was replaced with other materials.

Description

The church is located in the north edge of the village, among old trees, by a small cemetery. It has a frame structure filled with brick; it is built on a Greek-cross plan, with a three-sided termination of the chancel, two sacristies and a tapered bell tower from the west. A single-storey annex adjoins the nave from the north - it is a lodge open towards the interior of the church (plans to build a similar lodge on the south side failed).

The wooden structure of the walls is exposed and painted black; the brick panels are plastered; the façades of the tower are planked. Part of the old window joinery has survived featuring crown glass elements. There are wooden galleries in the transept arms; founder’s seats are present in the chancel. The Baroque equipment: main altar, pulpit, organ, and pews go back to the first half of the 18th century. The bell was cast in 1657.

The monument is available to visitors.
