Church from Tokarnia

Drewniany kościół z ogrodzeniem w zimie.

The church of Our Lady of Snows in Tokarnia was built in the first half of the 17th century and served as a manor chapel at first. It only became a parish church after its expansion in 1807 and 1877. The oldest description of the church that survived to our times comes from 1643 and describes it as a single-space building with an added vestry. Fragments of that building probably still exist even though some researchers date the oldest parts of the present church back to the first half of the 18th century. The last extension and renovation took place in the second half of the 1960s when a vestibule was added to the nave, the foundations were raised and the stonework was raised by adding three layers of flat beams underneath. Today the church consists of a nave with a vestibule and a semi-hexagonally terminated chancel (each of them with a different roof ridge). The exterior of the church is boarded, surrounded by a shingled apron. A belltower is covered with a bulbous cupola and the entire gable roof is shingled.
