Summary/Abstract: The guild mason was the creator of a group of about ten similar to each other churches built in the area between the Vistula and the Bug River. This paper provides an overview of the state of research on his work and its analysis and a polemic with earlier view, regarding him as an executor of architectural projects by Jan Michał Link. Churches bulit by Lenartowicz are characteristic due to a simple composition of floor plan, decorative composition of shapes and unusual elaboration of the architectural decoration, implemented entirely in brick and plaster.
