Our Lady Queen of Poland Church in Przeworno

Our Lady Queen of Poland Church in Przeworno has stood in this village in Strzelin County since 1733, though a church on this site has a longer history.

Rebuilt many times

The first mention of a church in Przeworno dates from 1335. The building was destroyed in 1428 during the Hussite Wars, rebuilt in 1575, and then destroyed again during the Thirty Years' War. The present church, built of brick filled with quartzite probably brought from around Jegłowa or Krzywina, was erected in 1733 and has neo-Gothic features.

Interior

In the right arm of the transept is a sandstone epitaph of the Czirn family in the late-Renaissance style. A two-part late-Renaissance epitaph from the last quarter of the 16th century, with biblical scenes, survives on the south wall. The font, made of Przeworno marble, dates from 1765.

Parish

The church serves as the parish church under the same dedication, belonging to the Strzelin deanery of the Archdiocese of Wrocław.
