All Saints Church from Boguty-Pianki
A wooden church from Boguty-Pianki preserves the layout and furnishings of a nineteenth-century parish church.
Content language
The church was rebuilt in 1865, following a fire the previous year, to resemble its predecessor. The parish history in Boguty-Pianki reaches back to 1772, when Stanisław Kazimierz and Marianna Łazowscy founded a wooden chapel. From 1774 to 1865 it served as a filial church of the parish in Nur, after which it became an independent parish church. The church was thoroughly renovated and enlarged in 1820.
The building has a log structure, exterior boarding and a rectangular plan measuring 10.8 by 21.6 metres. Its gabled roof has a clipped end above the chancel and is covered with shingles; a slender bell turret with a metal cap and cross crowns the roof. Inside, the chancel adjoins a sacristy and treasury, with patrons’ galleries above. Four columns supporting the ceiling divide the hall-like interior into a nave and two aisles; two side annexes support the choir and contain a stairway and storage for processional equipment. The surviving furnishings from the late nineteenth century include the main altar, two side altars, a pulpit, a baptismal font, portable devotional images and Stations of the Cross.
