Very beautiful wooden church with a separate steeple. Unfortunately the church was locked and could not be visited.The Church of St. Stanisław Bishop in Chotk from 1527 is the only preserved object of a wooden sacral building from the 16th century in the Kielce region.It was built on a rectangular plan of 12x7 meters, without a separate sacristy and chancel, with a three-sided apse on the east side. The gable roof made of larch wood, with a gable on the west side, is covered with shingles. In the middle of the ridge of the roof is a pierced, copper-clad tower with a bell.The southern porch was added later, after the church was built. Inside the building, some elements of the original decoration and equipment have been preserved. Inside the church there are stone Gothic pews and a late Renaissance pulpit.The church has a beamed ceiling with a preserved 16th-century Renaissance polychrome depicting coffers with rosettes. There is research to suggest that this ceiling may have come from another, older church.On the walls there are faint traces of earlier paintings and faintly visible consecration crosses (Translated from Wikipedia).
