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.
