Church of St Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr in Myszków

The Church of St Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr in Myszków is a neo-Gothic parish church from the early 20th century, belonging to the Myszków deanery of the Archdiocese of Częstochowa.

Construction

Work began in 1907 under the direction of the engineer Wiktor Filipczyński. It was delayed by the discovery of shafts of a former iron ore mine, which had to be sealed. After seven years the walls and roof stood. In 1925 the east gable was built and the interior completed, in 1926 the tower was raised by 11 metres, and in 1928 the front gable was added.

Appearance and organ

The church is built of brick, with a single nave, on a rectangular plan. The walls of the nave and chancel are supported by buttresses, and the interior is covered with a barrel-and-cross vault. The organ was built in 1926 by Stanisław Krukowski and underwent a general overhaul in 2013. In the area stands August Schmelzer's Palace in Myszków, about 600 m further on.
