The THE NEO-BAROQUE CHURCH IN FRYSZTAK AND ITS ARCHITECTURAL AND STYLISTIC ANALYSIS IN VIEW OF THE TOWN’S HISTORY AND URBAN PLAN: A CASE STUDY
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article presents the history of Frysztak (from the mid-14th century to the 1930s it was a town, today a small village in the Strzyżów district, in the Podkarpackie Province), focusing on issues related to the development and transformation of its urban layout over the centuries, as well as the origins and history of the parish and the churches built there. The last of these, preserved to this day, dates from the 1920s and is an example of a neo-baroque building with neo-Gothic elements. An important part of the article is the architectural and stylistic characterisation of this church, based on in situ research. This analysis has allowed us to identify similarities and differences between this structure and other churches of the historicist period in south-eastern Poland, as well as to show the originality of this temple, also in comparison with other works of its designer, Stanisław Majerski, who was one of the most prominent representatives of historicism in this area.
