Wikipedia: Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the first mentions of the church date back to 1264 – the 13th century and concern the church's equipment by the Bishop of Wrocław, Tomasz. The first church was a stone building made of granite, with a single nave and a simple presbytery, covered with a barrel vault, with a tower on the western side. The following remains of the old church: the walls of the nave, fragments of the tympanum – a late Romanesque detail, remains of the portal and windows, and the base of the internal gallery. All these parts of the old church are located in the church's lapidarium. The church was destroyed by fires twice, in 1643 and 1768. During the reconstruction of the church in 1827 – the 19th century, the architecture was given a classicist form, the interior, in accordance with the requirements of the Protestant religion, was equipped with multi-storey galleries with a pulpit placed above the altar. The late Romanesque portal was also dismantled, and the western façade was decorated with a portico adjacent to the wall. During World War II, during the front's passage in 1945, the church tower was used as an observation point, and the church was an ammunition depot. During the retreat of German troops, the Germans detonated (blown up) the ammunition depot together with the church, which was destroyed and burned out completely. In the 1980s, the church was rebuilt with careful preservation of historic elements, giving the building a postmodern form.
