About Church of St. John the Baptist

Church of St. John the Baptist - Kazimierz Dolny | Secret World Trip Planner

Church of St. John the Baptist was founded in the 1300s. It is located on a slight hill at the foot of the castle ruins.the church was first gothic, then developed in the style of “Lublin renaissance” (between 1586-91 and then 1610-13 under supervision of Italian architect Jakub Balin). Next to the church, there are renaissance chapels: the chapel of the Górski family, the chapel of the Borkowski family and the “Różańcowa” chapel (in English: the rosary chapel). Especially the top of the sanctuary looks grand, with its pinnacles, pilasters, volutes and fixture ornaments. The ceiling of the church is covered in stucco decorations, geometric, mannerist, shaped in circles, squares, hearts, stars and rosettes. In the interior of the church, there are a few items particularly worth noticing: late gothic main portal, 1620 organ inspired by Flemish art (the oldest one in Poland), stalls in the presbyterium (from the 1st half of the 18th century), a baptismal font made of stone (by Santi Gucci, a Florence artist), 17th and 18th century cordovan antependia (the covers of the front part of the altar made of pressworked and dyed leather), an inlaid pulpit from 1615 with a rococo cap attached later on, a late renaissance bust of Mikołaj Przybyła and a rococo tabernacle. The main altar is decorated with 19th century paintings by J. Urbański from Lublin, which depict St Casimir of the Jagiellon dynasty, a crown prince of the Kingdom of Poland, and the martyrdom of St Bartolomew. The church was thoroughly renovated between 2010 and 2012.
