House of Prayer
A reconstructed church from Rząśnik with a multimedia exhibition about Silesian Protestants.
Idioma del contenido
The House of Prayer comes from Rząśnik. It was a Protestant church and, after the war, served for decades as a fruit warehouse. When its roof collapsed and demolition threatened, an attempt was made to save its surviving parts. In 2008, the Association for the Preservation of Silesian Art and Culture began the project to relocate it to Łomnica. The timber components were inventoried, labelled and secured. Moving the building required a record of each piece's position within the framework.
The building has a timber-framed structure, with wooden beams forming the skeleton of its walls. Its history includes earlier rebuilding, so the present reconstruction should not be understood as an untouched eighteenth-century building. In Łomnica, the House of Prayer serves as a meeting place. The exhibition “Silesian Houses of Prayer - Silesian Tolerance” presents the region's religious history. Films cover the reconstruction and the fate of Silesian Protestant churches. Multimedia content can also be viewed on a smartphone connected to the local network.

This House of Prayer once stood in Rząśnik. Protestants worshipped there, and after the war it was used to store fruit. Eventually it became so damaged that it faced demolition.
In 2008, work began to save it by moving it to Łomnica. The wooden parts were labelled and secured for use in rebuilding. Beams form the visible framework of the walls. Today, it is a meeting place with an exhibition about Silesian houses of prayer. Films also tell the story of the reconstruction and the history of Protestant churches.
