St Stephen's Church in Laryszów

St Stephen's Church in Laryszów is a brick church of the Evangelical-Augsburg parish, built in 1928 and entered in the heritage register in 2025. It has a single tower and stands on Wolności Street in the Zbrosławice municipality.

How the church came about

After the 1920 plebiscite, the state border separated Laryszów from the parish in Tarnowskie Góry, to which the local Protestants belonged. There were about 200 of them at the time, and attending services meant crossing the border. For that reason, on 11 October 1927 a decision was made to build a church of their own, and on 8 July 1928 the church was consecrated and given the dedication to St Stephen.

The church today

Before the church was built, a cemetery was established in the village. Between 1983 and 2000 the parish priest, Rev. Dorda, renovated the church inside and out. The parish is small and has about a hundred members.
