St. Catherine of Alexandria in Toszek was built in the 15th century, but its present appearance is the result of the reconstruction carried out at the beginning of the 18th century. Interestingly, it was built on the ruins of an earlier temple, perhaps erected in the 12th century. The building is decorated in a baroque style, as is the interior. Richly decorated altars and a nice pulpit attract attention. A miraculous image of Our Lady of Toszecka hangs in the church.
Church of st. Catherine of Alexandria consists of a tower on a square plan, topped with a tin, pyramidal cupola, the nave and narrow aisles, and a chancel closed on three sides. The collector's box was placed above the sacristy. Above the roof there is a neat bell in the form of a lantern with an onion-shaped cupola mounted on it. Inside, the richly decorated baroque altars and the pulpit - the work of Matthias Weissmann from Frydek, deserve special attention. In the side altar, located in the left aisle, we find the painting of Our Lady of Toszecka, considered to be a miraculous one. It is a copy of the 16th-century work of Luke Cranach the Elder. In the church in Toszek, the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament was established in the 15th century, and in the 18th century - the Brotherhood of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
