Unfortunately, it's closed. Probably opened during the service, the Spis Wooden Church of St. Adalbert in Kalisz stands in the Zawodzie district, right next to the Kalisz Piast Fortress. The current church dates from 1798, as evidenced by, among other things, an inscription visible on one of the ceiling beams. The first Church of St. Adalbert was built in Zawodzie, next to an early medieval stronghold, around 1200.
