Zakrzów Turawski Church

The wooden church built in 1759 is an example of unusual carpentry craftsmanship.

The founder of the church was the owner of Turawa lands and Zakrzów Anna Barbara von Löwencron. All her children, 13 of them, died very early, even before their mother's death. It is believed that she built a church so that God would give her grace.
The construction is made of wooden logs, it has two towers of different sizes. Both are topped with spherical shingled helmets. Inside, visitors are delighted by the Baroque-Classicist altar, the Gothic figure of the Virgin Mary with the Child from the 14th century, 19th century paintings and interesting ceiling polychromes made on the skin.
The beautiful Baroque baptismal font from the 18th century is also eye-catching. The sacristy adjoins the presbytery from the north. From the outside, it catches the eye because it is made of brick. It was probably bricked up later on from wooden parts, or its framework was built in time.
Today, the historic church stands firmly on the edge of arable fields, surrounded by centuries-old trees and old graves. It plays the role of a cemetery church. In 2009, parishioners loudly celebrated its 250th anniversary.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
