Trzy chóry muzyczne w zabytkowym kościele w Binarowej

Abstract

The impetus to take up this subject are three organ galleries, which exist to this day in church in Binarowa. This disquisition attempts to resolve this question. This article is about Catholics in Binarowa and their ways of finding themselves in 1st half of XVII century in a village, which was managed by Calvinist tenantry. Te village, founded by the king Casimir III the Great, was inhabited by German settlers, so the Reformation diffused easily. The chapel “for Polish sermons“, built next to the Corpus Christi Church in Biecz, was stimulus to similar actions in Binarowa. Originally, for this reason, prepared vestry for the purposes of cult. Inside built organ gallery for congregation. Probably in 20s of XVII w., the chapel also with organ gallery was added to existing church. In 1634 it was took over by Fraternity of St. Guardian Angels and to this day it is called ‘Chapel of Guardian Angels’. Original organ gallery raises up in the nave of the church, over the western entrance.
