A wooden Gothic church from the early 16th century, with a 15th-century triptych and a font from 1533.
The church in Paczółtowice is a wooden Gothic building erected by one of the co-owners of the village from the Paczółtowski family before 1515 (according to another dating, in 1518-1520). According to Wikipedia an earlier church stood here as early as 1326. The building lies on the Wooden Architecture Route of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.
It is a single-nave building of log construction, with a chancel closed by three apses. It was believed that larch was used, but research has shown spruce. The tower has a post construction and houses a porch on the ground floor. The church was repaired in 1671-1681, and the last major renovation was carried out in 1991-1996.
Among the furnishings are a late Gothic triptych from 1460-1470, a Baroque organ with a dulcimer stop from 1701 and a bronze font cast in 1533 at the commission of Jan Paczółtowski. Beside the church stands a bell tower from 1968 with three bells, including the historic bell "Maria" from 1535. In the churchyard grow a protected lime and oak.
