Presbytery from Goźlice
EN / PL
The presbytery was built in the village of Goźlice (Klimontów municipality) in 1768. It was funded by the owner of the Ossolina and Goźlice estates, and the local parish priest – Jerzy Dobrzański. From 1957 to 1976 it served as a catechetical room, and later a grain warehouse.
The single-storey, two-bay presbytery with walls built from lumbers with quoins joined using lap joints was built on a rectangular plan. The façade is adorned with a central Baroque portal, sheltered by a gazebo porch. The portal details and its ornamentation were probably modelled on similar adornments that can be seen in Goźlice’s parish church. The hipped roof is covered by a double layer of shingles. The presbytery from Goźlice is the only eighteenth-century wooden parish building surviving in the Kielce region. Thanks to its style similar to that of manorial architecture, it is ranked among the most valuable examples of such architecture.
