Church Ruins

The church in Krajnik Dolny was built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries (probably in 1700) on a nearby hill. The building was of half-timbered construction, built of red brick. It was a single-nave structure with a tower on the west side. In 1863, the church’s tall tower was removed and replaced with a slightly shorter one. From the 19th century onward, the church housed an organ manufactured by the Dinse brothers of Berlin, and two bells hung in the church tower.

The building survived World War II but fell into ruin during the postwar period. Over the years, the abandoned church was plundered. Only fragments of the walls have survived to the present day. The western wall of the building is the best-preserved part.

The foundations of the walls were built from evenly laid boulders, while the rest of the structure was built of brick. The wall featuring the portal is the best-preserved section. To the right and left of the doorway, there are two crosses carved into the wall. Of all the church’s furnishings, only the valuable altar remains; it was moved to the church in nearby Piaski. The ruins of the church in Krajnik Dolny were added to the list of historic monuments in December 1989.
