St George's Church in Jasienica

The brick parish church of St George in Jasienica was consecrated on 19 August 1787. It was built through the efforts of the then parish priest, Rev. Józef Mojżyszki. It is entered in the heritage register.

History

In the interwar period the church was considerably enlarged and given a Latin cross plan. In 1945 Soviet soldiers set up a stable in it, and after the war it was rebuilt by the parish priest Roman Sztajer, despite difficulties from the authorities.

Interior

The brick church has a single nave, one tower and three altars. The furnishings are Late Baroque, from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. A valuable monument is the triptych of the Four Holy Virgin Helpers from the early 16th century, which comes from Jasienica.
