Summary/Abstract: The neo-gothic church dedicated to St Wojciech the Bishop and Martyr and St Stanisław the Bishop and Martyr in Wilamów is an example of monumental sacral art in Uniejów municipality. In spite of its historical value and location in the vicinity of major transport routes, it is rather little known – it is commonly perceived as a village church rather than a sacral monument worth visiting. The article presents the history of the church and the parish on the basis of specialist literature as well as written and oral sources. It also describes the surroundings and the interior decorations of the church, with a particular focus on its historical and artistic value. The presented analysis demonstrates the touristic potential of this place as an element of cultural heritage.
