Churches & monasteries
In the central part of Bydlin, a village in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, stands the Church of St. Margaret — a church from 1865, raised most probably on the site of an older wooden one. Parish traditions here reach back to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, and the history of Bydlin is older still: the first records of the village come from 1120.
Inside, the Renaissance high altar draws the eye; it conceals a historic sculpture of the Virgin Mary with Child. An intriguing story belongs to the black marble baptismal font with an inscription from 1707 — it came here from a Lutheran church in Wielkanoc, a village in the nearby commune of Klucze.
The parish of Bydlin also owns the Chapel of Our Lady of Consolation with a Gothic figurine of the Virgin Mary. It stands in the historic churchyard at the foot of Bydlin's castle hill, so a visit to the church can be combined with a short walk in this part of the village.
The church stands at Legionów Street 6. Bydlin lies near the Błędów Desert and the castles of Rabsztyn and Ogrodzieniec, so a visit to the church fits easily into a tour of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Seeing the interior takes a quarter of an hour.
