Church of St. Apostles Peter and Paul

In 1294, Pieniążkowo, as a church village, became the property of the bishops of Włocławek, which contributed to the establishment of the parish in Opalenie at the end of the 13th century. In 1302, the owner of Opalenie was a knight named Maciej or Mateusz. In 1365, the Teutonic Knights granted Opalenie a location privilege, which allowed the land to be transferred to peasants, and the parish priest was given four włókas of land as an endowment. The document also mentioned the existence of a wooden church dedicated to St. Peter, which played an important role in the local community. In the 17th century, after destruction caused by the Swedish "Deluge," the church was rebuilt in 1665 in a timber-frame construction. The current church was erected in 1773 on the foundations of the former Gothic temple, giving it a Baroque character. The founder of this building, as well as a parish hospital from 1774, was Jakub Hutten-Czapski, the then-owner of Opalenie. In 1925, after years of belonging to other parishes, Bishop Augustyn Rosentreter restored the Opalenie parish under the patronage of St. Peter and Paul, ensuring its continued operation. The church in Opalenie was under government patronage, and the bishop of Chełmno was its patron.
