Filial church of Saint Lawrence in Jastrzębie

The filial church also reaches with its beginnings to the Middle Ages. The church was first mentioned in old documents in 1353. The next church, on the spot of the former one, was erected as a timber framing construction in the 17th century. It was pulled down in 1825 and at the spot, a year later, a new church was built, also as a timber framing construction. Within the period of 1904-1921 the church was extended. At that time the walls were bricked and a tower was built according to a design by architect Seifert from Wołczyno. The church was included into the parish of Biestrzykowice in 1947, it had belonged to the parish of Siemysłów before. The present church is constructed of brick and plastered. It has a gabled roof and the tower is crowned with a pyramid helm. The chancel faces north. Windows have semicircular finishing. In the interior there is a Baroque altar from about 1720, taken from the older church, with paintings presenting St. Lawrence and Virgin Mary and with sculptures of Early Church Fathers and cherubs. However, the side altar is specially precious. It is a late-Gothic carved triptych from the 15th century, with painted wings. In its central section there is a curved figure of Virgin Mary with the Child, which is placed between St. Barbara holding a tower and St. Lawrence. In the wings there are pairs of saints presented: in the left wing there is St. Apollonia and St. Margaret, St. Elisabeth and St. Hedwig, and on the right wing there is a scene of Crucifixion, as well as St. Nicholas and St. Stephen. On the reverse sides of the wings there is an Annunciation scene presented.
In the church there is also a sculpture presenting St. John of Nepomuk holding a cross. The late-Baroque pulpit comes from the second quarter of the 18th century. Among the older decoration elements, also the
octagonal wooden baptismal font from the turn of the 16th and the 17th centuries has been preserved.
