Facts and practical information

St. Adalbert Church in Kalisz - church in Kalisz, Zawodzie, next to an archeological reserve; wooden, with a log structure, boarded with osmolated pine lumber; built in 1798.

The original building was probably erected around 1200 and it served as a parish church, which was, however, abolished in 1406 by the archbishop of Gniezno, Mikolaj Trba, and it fell into ruins. An inscription on one of the ceiling beams informs about the year the present building was built: Anno Domini 1798 die 24 Aprilis Sebastjan Zieliński founder of this church, potter with all parishioners. Carpenter Jan Kejner. Church has rectangular nave, presbytery with vestry, signature tower built in 1894.

The Romanesque stoup probably comes from the furnishings of the Collegiate Church of St. Paul the Apostle.

In 2017, an 18th century cemetery was discovered under a layer of soil in the church during archaeological work.
