The Polish Catholic Church of Peter and Paul in Obórki was created on the initiative of the Pogorzel family of the Grzymała coat of arms, which belonged to one of the most famous families of medieval Poland. The oldest part of the church is the wooden walls of the presbytery made of fir wood in the mid-15th century. The current shape of the wooden temple with a log structure is the result of reconstruction carried out at the end of the 17th century, while the tower with a shingle-covered bulbous helmet was created in the mid-18th century. Inside, particular attention is deserved by the polychrome on the ceiling of the nave and presbytery in the form of ceiling coffers, rosettes, and plant ornament from the second half of the 17th century. In the church, there is also a stone, Renaissance baptismal font from the 16th century, 17th-century stalls and benches, as well as a pulpit and Gothic door fittings with a repeating motif of a rhombus and semicircle. Also noteworthy is the bell from the mid-19th century cast in the Klagemann bell foundry in Wrocław. The 15th-century triptych, which was originally located in the church, can currently be seen in the Museum of the Silesian Piasts in Brzeg. The temple is surrounded by a Gothic wall made of fieldstone, built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. The church is located on the Trail of Brzeg Polychromes. Practical information: The church is closed to visitors. Parking directly in front of the church.
