GPM 0991 OSIEK-Kościół pw. Św Andrzeja

St. Andrew in Osiek (Lesser Poland Voivodeship) is a historic temple, which currently does not perform any pastoral functions. The temple was built during the Renaissance, in the years 1538-1549, most likely funded by Seweryn Boner - banker of King Sigismund I the Old and his wife, Bona Sforza. The present church is almost certainly erected on the site of the previous medieval temple. At the beginning of the 17th century, a tower was added to the church, and around 1730 a new wooden sacristy appeared, and arcades appeared at the nave and presbytery. The church is wooden, made in the carcass technique, with a mullion-frame tower. The nave and presbytery were covered with a shingled, gable (two-ridge) roof. The church has been out of use since 1908 and was originally supposed to be demolished, but luckily these plans did not materialize. The church was thoroughly renovated in 1970-1975 and later in the 1990s. The building is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the province. Lesser Poland.
