Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God and St Augustine in Kurozwęki Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God and St Augustine in Kurozwęki

The first mentions of the village of Kurozwęki date back to the 13th century. The church of the Assumption of the Mother of God and St Augustine existed already around 1470. In 1487, it became parish church. At the time, a monastery was also built for the Canons Regular of the Lateran, brought to the village from Krakow by the castellan of Sandomierz and Royal Treasurer, Piotr of Kurozwęki. In 1827, the church and the monastery were converted into an old age home managed by the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. The temple is a Gothic structure built with stone, with Late Renaissance and Baroque additions and alterations. The church has a Baroque entrance gate with a double-pitched roof.  The former monastery is a single-storey, masonry building without a defined architectural style, but with a number of Gothic and early Renaissance elements. In the courtyard, there is a Late Baroque statue from 1776 of Blessed Stanisław Kazimierczyk, a Canon Regular of the Lateran.
