Church of Saint John the Baptist in Stara Kamienica

The Church of Saint John the Baptist is a baroque village church in Stara Kamienica, a small settlement near Bolesławiec (historically Bunzlau) in southwestern Poland, a region that passed through Bohemian, Habsburg, and Prussian rule before becoming part of Poland after 1945. Many rural Silesian churches were built or remodelled during the Counter-Reformation in the 17th and 18th centuries, and this dedication to John the Baptist — a common patronage in the region — fits that tradition. Detailed records on its construction history and interior furnishings are not readily available; the church is primarily of interest to visitors exploring Silesian rural ecclesiastical architecture.
