Architektura kościoła parafialnego pw. św. Michała Archanioła w Tartakowie

The village of Tartaków is situated in the former Bełz powiat, currently in Ukraine. The local Archangel Michael parish church was founded in 1739 by Franciszek Salezy Potocki, the voivod of Kiev and Wolhynia, and crown carver. The construction lasted probably until ca. 1751, when Potocki commissioned the Virgin Mary painting for the church. In the second half of the 18th century the Tartaków church became a Marian sanctuary with the worship of the wondrous painting of Our Lady the Healer of the Sick. In the nave and on the vault the remains of 18th-century frescos by Tomasz Gertner are found. The present appearance of the church is different from the original one; in the late 19th century it was extended, a new chancel was added as well as two chapels functioning as a pseudo-transept. The original shape of the church, austere and simple, indicates the local education of the architect and is deeply rooted in previous architectural solutions.
