    Church of St. Nicholas - Roman Catholic parish church belonging to the Żarnów deanery of the Radom diocese.

    Church before 1913
    The first mention of the temple comes from 1191. Originally, it was a Romanesque, single-nave building, expanded in 1503 (a late Gothic presbytery was added at that time). After a fire in 1893, the church was expanded according to the design of Stefan Szyller.


    The original temple is currently the transverse nave of the current one. Partially preserved fragments of walls and Romanesque and Gothic details.

    To this day, the western bay of the nave with the gallery, the round tower added to it, and fragments of the walls of the northern and southern naves added to the presbytery have survived.

    The side walls of the nave are decorated with Romanesque pilasters (including two decorated with acanthus leaf and fantastic animal motifs). There is a Romanesque window in the northern wall.

    On the stone walls of the older part of the building, inscriptions dedicated to people who renovated the church are scratched into the stone. They include the inscription "Matki Skórko 1595".

    The interior of the church features, among other things, a spiral stone staircase, three pointed arch windows in the Gothic style with tracery.

    The presbytery was built on a rectangular plan and is covered with three bays of a star vault[2].
