KLEJNIKI – cerkiew p.w. Wniebowstąpienia Pańskiego
KLEJNIKI - church of the Ascension of the Lord
The first church dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord in Klejniki was built in 1792. It was a wooden temple, which in 1864 was moved to the nearby Koźliki, where to this day - under the invocation of Saint. Nicholas - serves as a branch church. In 1883 another church (also made of wood) was built on the site of the relocated church, which was burnt in 1973. In the same place in 1974-1988, the current brick church was built, designed by Irena Małafiejew (interior and stained glass designed by Adam Stalony-Dobrzański). The altar made of field stone was made by local residents. Iconostas is the work of a Roman sculptor Jan Płoński from Falenica. Icons were written by the Greek artist Sotyrys Pantopulos, while the polychromes were made by Bulgar Asan Gicow from Sofia. The stone wall around the church dates from the late 19th century; in 2014 it was renovated.
