St Nicholas's Church in Nowogrodziec

St Nicholas's Church stands on the site of the former village of Ołdrzychów, today part of Nowogrodziec, a kilometre from the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, whose parish it formally belongs to as a filial church.

History

The church was first mentioned as early as 1346. It took its present shape in 1827, when it was raised on the walls of an earlier building from the beginning of the 17th century.

Interior furnishings

Inside survives a wooden crucifix in late Gothic style, two Baroque altars from the beginning of the 18th century, and three epitaphs from the 18th century. The church also has a twelve-stop organ, built around 1900 by the Świdnica firm of Heinrich Schlag, thoroughly renovated in 2012.
