Kodeń

Today the people of Poland celebrate Palm Sunday, which means the anticipation for the Easter is growing stronger within Poles, me included. I'm not religious, but being raised in Catholic tradition, I truly enjoy some of its elements, such as feasting on the traditional dishes with your family (and, of course, the preparation of those dishes beforehand^^), but also the historical sights related to Roman-Catholic Christianity.

It has always amazed me how diverse and rich is Polish architecture, especially the castles and churches built in the past. Yesterday, my loved one, knowing so well how much I would enjoy it, took me on a spontaneous trip to one of those places which's historical landmarks manage to combine both<3

Using both the opportunity and my pre-Easter spring mood I shall share some photos of the beautiful Kodeń village with you.

Kodeń [ˈkɔdɛɲ] is a village in eastern Poland on the Bug River, which forms the border between Poland and Belarus. Administratively, it belongs to Biała Podlaska County in Lublin Voivodeship.

Kalwaria Kodeńska | The Kodeń Calvary

Kościół Świętego Ducha | Church of the Holy Ghost

The Gothic castle church, currently a Roman Catholic filial church of St. Anna's parish in Kodeń. The temple, along with the ruins of the Sapieha castle, the former armory, and the stations of the Via Dolorosa processional route, compose the area of the Kodeń Calvary. The church was founded at the same time as the Kodeń castle by the Voivode of Nowogródek, Paweł Sapieha, around 1540. It served as the Sapieha family court chapel until the 19th century.

Bazylika św. Anny w Kodniu | St-Anne's Basilica

The church of the Roman Catholic parish of St. Anna in Kodeń. The church was built between 1629 and 1635 in the late Renaissance style on the site of an earlier wooden church from 1599. The construction was led by the Lublin mason J. Cangerle. In 1657, the church was plundered by the Swedes who removed the lead roof and stole the bells. In 1680, fire destroyed the church and the town, but by 1686, after the completion of its reconstruction and alteration (western tower), the church was consecrated again. The Baroque façade dates back to 1709.
