Facts and practical information

Saint Stanislaus the Bishop Church in Rydzyna is a Roman Catholic parish church located in Rydzyna, Leszno County, Greater Poland Province. It belongs to the deanery of Rydzyn.

The temple was built in 1751 on the site of an earlier church from the early fifteenth century, destroyed in 1707, and a wooden temple from 1716. The church was founded by Prince Alexander Joseph Sulkowski. It is a work of Karol Marcin Frantz, a resident architect and builder from Legnica, who was influenced by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer from Prague. The building represents late Baroque architecture. Its body is richly shaped, almost entirely devoid of right angles. The original interior decoration has survived, partially modified in 1785-1786 by Ignacy Graff, the architect of Prince August Sulkowski. The main entrance is decorated with a portal with a cartouche of the Sulima Sulkowski coat of arms. The spacious nave in the form of an elongated octagon is covered with a flat cupola. The temple has six side altars. Behind the main altar there is a marble Gothic tombstone of Jan Rydzyński with a Gothic inscription and a semi-plastic figure of the deceased, one of the oldest knight tombstones in Wielkopolska.
