Summary/Abstract: The 17th-century wooden church in Brody Poznańskie, erected on a cruciform plan in a qua- si-post-supported construction system, holds a special place in the Polish and Europeanstock of wooden church architecture. The article analyses the distinctive features of the ar- chitecture of the building and confronts them with archival materials relating to it, revealing the circumstances and details of the process of establishing the “factory” for the church, the model adopted for it, and its original architectural appearance. The synthesising conclusions highlight the exceptional importance of this church in the study of old carpentry practices.
