St Lawrence's Church in Mikołów-Mokre

St Lawrence's Church in Mikołów-Mokre is a brick parish church from the mid-16th century, belonging to the Archdiocese of Katowice. It stands on ulica Zamkowa and is entered in the heritage register.

History of the church

During the Reformation, and until it was taken over again by Catholic priests, the church was neglected and fell into decay. In 1716 renovation and rebuilding began, the roof was replaced and two side chapels were added. In 1863 the church was rebuilt and enlarged, and an imposing tower was added at the front. In 1886 the church was painted, and in 1888 new Stations of the Cross with carved stations were placed in it. Later renovations, in 1992-2006, included repairing mining damage, new stained glass, a clock and electronic bells on the tower, and the renovation of the altars.

Furnishings

The furnishings include a figure of Our Lady of the Angels, an organ and a font from the end of the 17th century, a chapel from the 18th century, the external chapel of St John of Nepomuk and the Stations of the Cross from 1888.
