The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Rożnów was built at the end of the 18th century on the site of an older temple, first mentioned in the second half of the 14th century. The temple was founded by Gottlieb Friedrich von Eben, owner of Górny Rożnów, and Gustav August Ernst von Seydlitz from Dolny Rożnów. It is an object of log construction on a stone foundation with a bulbous helmet. Inside, there is a main altar in the form of a Gothic triptych from the end of the 15th century. The church organs and pulpit represent the Rococo style, and the baptismal font dates from the beginning of the 18th century. Next to the church stands a pyramid-shaped tombstone, erected in the same century by Major General Karl Adolf August von Eben und Brunnen. The tomb was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, the author of the design of the Brandenburg Gate. Practical information: Visiting the interiors is free, by arrangement with the village headman (tel. 793 842 738). Free parking spaces by the church.
