The most distinctive monument in Pszow is undoubtedly the Minor Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built in the 14th century in Gothic style, and later underwent a face-lift in Baroque style. Inside the church treasures: a Baroque high altar from 1710, a baptismal font from 1700 and an organ from 1740.
Among the monuments of Pszow, St. Nicholas Church is like the ancient chronicles that tell the ancient history of the city. Its roots date back to the 13th century, when it was erected in Romanesque style. However, time did not fail to touch the temple with its long fingers, so that in later years it was refreshed and transformed into a Gothic style.
The interior of this sacred wonder contains a centuries-old Romanesque portal, carved from sandstone, which, with carvings depicting biblical scenes and figures of saints, weaves a tale that many of us have already forgotten. It's like a window in time, transporting us to an era when stone took on a soul in the hands of sculptors.
But that's not the end of the mysteries of St. Nicholas Church. The Gothic main altar, carved from wood in the 1500s, shows scenes from the life of Jesus Christ in carvings. It is a work of mystics that seems to pulsate with life, telling the story of the savior's journey.
In this temple of Baroque craftsmanship, a slumbering baptismal font from the early 18th century stands like a monument to time. Carved from marble, it tells the story of the life of St. John the Baptist through sculptures that mute the marble hymn.
And it's not just a marble hymn.
But these are just three key artifacts in the fabric of time of St. Nicholas Church. A 16th-century Renaissance pulpit, an 18th-century rococo stall, 17th- and 18th-century paintings, and sculptures of the time all add up to a remarkable mosaic of sacred culture and art.
The church's interior is also a unique mosaic of sacred culture and art.
Another interesting sacred site is St. Nicholas Church, built in the 13th century in Romanesque style and later converted to Gothic. Inside, one can admire a Romanesque portal from the 13th century, a Gothic high altar from the 1500s and a Baroque baptismal font from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Church of St. Nicholas is also a great place to visit.
