Parish church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lubsko is the oldest monument of architecture in Lubsko.

It was re-designed and renovated multiple times and has features of late-Romanesque, late-Gothic, and Renaissance style.

History

The church was built in approx. 1250 in the form of a three-nave basilica with a tower, covered with a barrel vault. Around one hundred years later, its chancel section was extended. During the reconstruction after a fire, in the years 1496-1517, the building was given a late-Gothic shape. The main body was extended to the north and transformed from the basilica layout to a hall layout. The eastern façade was closed with a stepped gable, and inside lierne and stellar vaulting was installed, as well as painted decorations with Biblical motifs were made. In the years 1526-1945, the church remained in the hands of Protestants. After a fire in 1597, the tower was topped with a Renaissance roof parapet. After 1615, a sacristy was added to the chancel. The church was renovated a couple of time, among other things during the 17th and the 19th century. In 1912, plasterwork was removed. The church underwent renovations in the 1970s and in the years 2004-2005.

Description

It is made of field stone, granite blocks and brick. It was erected on a rectangular floor plan, with a rectangular chancel of the same width as the body, a sacristy from the north, and a tower west. It is a three-nave church with a hall layout, with a massive body covered with a high gable roof. The stout tower is topped with a roof parapet and a tented roof shaped as a pyramid. Annexes are covered with shed roofs. The interior of the four-bay main nave and the three-bay chancel is covered with a lierne vault. In the side naves that feature brick galleries, there are stellar and lierne vaults, in the sacristy - groin vaults, and in the porch of the tower - barrel vaults. Façades are not plastered and they are pierced with wide pointed-arch windows. The eastern façade is topped with a stepped gable with pinnacles, articulated with blind windows and crowned with a steeple. in the tower, there is a Romanesque stepped portal. Renaissance fittings have survived in the church - altars, ambo, and baptismal font. The eastern and southern wall and the pier by the ambo are covered with medieval painted decorations. In the tower, there is a bell from 1728.

The site is open to the public.
