St. Nicholas Church: history of construction and furnishings

The Gothic St. Nicholas Church was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The chancel is the oldest part of the church. A Neo-Gothic tower and porch were added in 1907. The church thus brings together medieval architectural history and additions from the early 20th century.

The late Baroque high altar dates from 1720. It features sculptures of two holy bishops, two angels, and God the Father; an image of the Madonna and Child stands at the center. The left side altar is in the Rococo style and dates from the second half of the 18th century. These two altars offer an impression of the different design periods represented in the church's furnishings.

The furnishings also include a Baroque pulpit from around 1720, a Baroque baptismal font from the first half of the 18th century, choir stalls, and a confessional from 1794. In the upper part of one altar is a late Gothic bust of St. Barbara from around 1500. The different pieces also make the furnishings interesting to travelers who are interested in religious art from different periods.

Churchyard and historic families

The churchyard also helps place the town in its historical context. It contains the graves of prominent families and of national and social activists from Toruń who lived during the partitions of Poland. The families mentioned include the Czarlińskis, who owned Zakrzewko, and the Donimirskis, owners of Łysomice. The churchyard adds historical family connections and memories of people from Toruń to the church's architectural history.
