Address
Nadarzyn, Kościelna 1

Location

The author of the church in Nadarzyn was Jakub Kubicki - a well-known architect of the Classicist era, working, among others, for the king Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski.

The design of the church in Nadarzyn refers to a winning concept presented by the architect in 1792 as part of the competition for the Divine Providence Temple in Warsaw and used at a more modest undertaking in Mokobody. The temple building is subject to monument preservation along with its fittings, the area of an old church cemetery and a bell tower.

History

The parish in Nadarzyn was founded in 1453 by Bishop of Poznań, Andrzej Opaliński of Bnin. It was then a wooden church founded by Tomasz of Rusiec was erected. Subsequent wooden temples were built in 1565, founded by Wiktoryn Nadarzyński, the castellan of Zakroczym, and in 1661 upon the initiative of Michał Karnkowski, the Voivode of Płock. In 1806, following the fire of the wooden church, the brick St Clemens Pope the Martyr Church was built. The building has survived to our times. Count Tomasz Adam Ostrowski, the founder of the church, the senator-voivode and the president of the Senate of the Kingdom of Poland, commissioned the construction of a new church to Jakub Kubicki. Over centuries, the church was subject only to minor transformations. A steeple was added to the roof before 1876. Damaged roof tiles were replaced with sheet metal roof cover before 1893. In the late 19th century altars were reconstructed, but in the 1970s, during the renovation of the church, their original appearance was restored. In 2000 an epitaph of Count Ostrowski, who died in 1817, was relocated to the outside of the church.

Description

The historic complex is situated in the centre of the town, within an enclosed area of the old cemetery, at the intersection of Kościelna and Warszawska Streets, on the eastern corner of the intersection. A church is located in the centre of a wooded parcel; a wooden belfry is located along its axis, in the east, at a fence.

The structure is oriented, built of brick and plastered. It was designed in the Classicist style. It was founded on an elongated octagonal floor plan, with two rectangular avant-corps on opposing, shorter sides. The western, front avant-corps includes an elliptical porch adorned with oval annexes on the sides (entrance to the choir gallery in the northern one). The eastern avant-corps includes a rectangular sacristy and an oval vestibule with stairs leading to the attic and boxes. The body and its ornaments are characterised by a classical elegance and harmony. Rusticated façades of the body and smooth avant-corps walls are partitioned by a roofed string course and crowned with entablature with a triglypgh frieze and a cornice with modillions. Both avant-corps are crowned with triangular pediments (a semi-circular window in the eastern one). The front of the western avant-corps has a single-axis front façade with a recessed portico adorned by two Doric columns. Between them, along the axis and over the rectangular portal, there is an oculus. Side façades of avant-corps are decorated with rectangular door and window openings contoured by profiled surrounds. Body walls are pierced by dormer windows and oculi in panels. Semi-circular windows in the octagon’s corner walls were embellished in an interesting way. They have a rectangular frame crowned with a triangular pediment; on the bottom, they are decorated with teardrop patterns. The gable roofs over avant-corps are covered with sheet metal, while the roofs over the orthogonal body are multi-hipped and include a steeple. The nave’s octagon houses an interesting solution in the form of oval interior partitioned by fluted Doric columns. Between these supports, in the middle of longer walls, shallow, semi-circularly terminating altar niches are located, whereas four deeper niches arranged on the semi-circular plan are found along diagonal axes. Boxes are situated above these niches. Over the entablature, the nave space is topped with an oval, flattened faux cupola. Classicist fittings prevail in the church. The altars include paintings from the early 19th century by Kazimierz Woźniakowski - Bacciarelli’s student. On the ground floor of the south façade of the church a Classicist sandstone grave of Ignacy Bolesta, who died in 1838, was placed, while the eastern wall includes epitaph plaques of the heirs of Nadarzyn, laid in the 19th century. A figure of John of Nepomuk stands in front of the church. It was made of sandstone by Karol Rosiewicz in 1836. A bell tower is found along the presbytery axis. This wooden feature either dates back to the 18th century, or was erected alongside with the church. The feature was founded on a square plan, has a post-and-beam structure, covered with vertical weatherboards and battens as well as semi-circular cuttings from the top. It is crowned with a tented roof covered with sheet metal.

The monument is available to visitors outside the hours of religious services.
