Wysocice - Kościół św. Mikołaja

Wysocice - Kościół św. Mikołaja
St. Mikołaja is a single-nave rural church, situated on a small hill. It was founded at the end of the 12th century by Bishop Iwo Odrowąż relative of St. Jacek Odrowąż (aka "Hyacinth of Poland"). The building, completed in the 13th century has not much changed over the centuries, it is still visible that it served as a fortified place to shelter people in times of attacks and riots. The sacristy was added later.

Under the eastern gable the "Madonna of Wysocice", a statue of the Virgin Mary on the throne.
