Church of the Transfiguration in Ropczyce

The current structure of the church is the result of a rebuild undertaken on the ruins of a church that had been destroyed in a fire. This church was originally built on the initiative of King Casimir the Great in 1368. Renovation works were conducted in 1873. From the original Gothic single-nave construction, a three-nave hall structure was created, supported by buttresses. Above the main entrance, there is a Neo-Gothic tower with a clock and a spire, followed by an equally spire-crowned main nave. In the pointed-arch gable above the main door, there is a polychrome painting showing a shepherd with sheep. The interior is modest, except for the Neo-Gothic side altars, richly decorated with wood carvings, and the pulpit. The presbytery features simple pews and a modernist main altar.
