    The first temple in Mikuszowice was probably built in the thirteenth or early fourteenth century. It was destroyed by a flood in the mid-fifteenth century.
    The second church in Mikuszowice was erected in 1455 from pine wood by a carpenter named Mączka at the request of the former robber Maciek Konita. For a short time it was a parish church, but soon it became a branch of the parish in Łodygowice. In the first half of the 16th century, after Lutheranism was recognized as the official religion of the Duchy of Oświęcim, to which Mikuszowice belonged, the church was taken over by Protestants. It returned to Catholics in 1615 as a result of the efforts of the castellan of Łodygowice, Piotr Warszycki. The church burned down on April 7, 1687 from a lightning strike.
    The construction of the present church of St. Barbara was completed in 1690. It was erected at the request of the Łodygowice parish priest, Urban Kupiszowski, by the city carpenter, Piotr Piotrowski, of larch wood, in the Silesian-Lesser Poland style, which was dominant in sacral architecture at that time. The consecration was made in 1692.

      It is worth going to the Sunday masses in Latin.

        A beautiful church, quite typical for this area. It is worth going inside and looking at the polychromes on the walls - especially near the entrance, on the left wall, a description of the martyrdom of St. Barbara. A beautiful example of how people wrote in Polish in the past.

          The historic Church of St. Barbara, in the Mikuszowice Krakowskie district of Bielsko-Biała, is a Catholic parish church in the Bielsko-Żywiec diocese. The building from 1690, with a sloping roof, surrounded by arcades, is an example of wooden sacral architecture in the Silesian-Lesser Poland style. The building is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian province.
