Kościół Rzymskokatolicki pw. św. Apostołów Szymona i Judy Tadeusza w Starej Rawie

A very old church a bit run down

In Stara Rawa there is a wooden church. St. Apostles Simon and Judah Tadeusz. This church is already the third standing in this town. In 1521, the parish was erected by Jan Łaski. In 1616, the Potocki family funded for the church, a painting of Our Lady of the Assumption, which is hidden by the image of the Holy Apostles Simon and Juda Tadeusz, to the main altar. The construction of the church, begun in 1731, was the fruit of the efforts of the auxiliary bishop of Gniezno - Krzysztof Dobiński, and the building itself was founded by Primate Teodor Potocki. The construction was finally completed only after 20 years, in 1751. The building is a single-nave church, has a log structure; made of larch wood. Inside there are three baroque altars: the main with paintings of the Mother of God and both patrons of the church, and two side altars. The rest of the decor is also in the Baroque style; there is also a music choir; its construction is supported by two columns, one of them is the date of the church's creation - 1731. Inside the church there are the confessional and the crucifix from the previous church. Next to the church there is a wooden belfry with a pole construction. In the churchyard cemetery there are two tombstones entered in the register of monuments: the tomb of Felicyssiej z Wyroziemskich of Lemańska and the family tomb of the heirs of Trzcianna - Prandoty Trzcińskich. Church with a bell tower and a chapel of the parish cemetery St. Juliusz and some gravestones are entered in the register of monuments

A beautiful historic church.
