Summary/Abstract: This note constitutes a contribution to the history of worship of St. Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, in the Opole are of Silesia, where this worship has been strong since he Middle Ages. Taking as an example the dedication of a parish church at Ligota Bial ka (German Ellguth) to St. Stanislaus, it wants to show the permanence of the rever nce for this Saint. The fact that a new church, built in the years 1908-1909 in the place f the old one (which dated back to the Middle Ages) received the same invocation is et another proof. Stained-glass windows designed by a Cracovian painter W. Tetmajer are a beautifiil decoration of this church.
