Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz's Architectonic Projects for the Pauline Church in Leśna Podlaska

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz’s activities for the church in Lesna Podlaska. Seven projects created by the author were treated in a special way. They date back to 1st of September 1926, 8th of February 1935, 21st of October 1935, 18th of April 1936, 8th of May 1936, 15th of June 1936 and the date of one of them is not specified. As there is no much study devoted to this subject, and only a little information is scattered on various texts, the author decided to make research in this field. We can divide the projects in two groups. The first one is about the projects with completely different formal and stylistic features. The second is about the projects, in which the structure was stated, but only the details of the tower’s outlook and their baroque helmets were changed. The project itself presents an interesting collection of the tower variants, in particular those which are connected with the concave-convex facade. The historical context, in which the project arose, was also discussed. The history of church and its evolution connected with the annexation, which innovated and changed the church, was also discussed in detail. The source materials from various Polish archives were prominent for the existence of the article. In the article an analysis was also made of the tower gable, which is a part of Lesnianski church. The aspect of cooperation of Paulins, which took place not only in Lesna Podlaska, was underlined. It can be noticed that the architect connected various parts of objects in an individual and innovative way, not necessary multiplying well known forms.
