The Parish Church of St. Adalbert and Our Lady of Sorrows in Modlnica dates from 1553. Originally the church was built in a cross shape, but already in 1622 the north wing was replaced by a renaissance brick chapel and tomb for the Kucharski family, and the wooden sacristy was replaced with a brick one. It is worth paying attention to the gothic portals capped with ogee arches. Inside the church there is impressive renaissance polychrome decoration from 1562 while the chapel has ornamental and figurative polychrome dating from the middle of the C17th. The church fittings include C17th altars with the main altar including a gothic painting of Madonna with Child. |
