The first mention of Szobiszowice (Petersdorf) dates back to 1276; it was then a separate knight's village. At the end of the 13th century, a parish already existed, considered one of the oldest in Upper Silesia. Information about the parish appears in a document dated September 17, 1297, drawn up by its first parish priest. The exact date of the construction of the old church is unknown. There are unconfirmed hypotheses that the church was built by the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Templars), which allegedly took place in 1232. The church was probably originally built of wood. It is assumed that the current stone one was built after the reconstruction of a previous one, which took place in the 15th century. Archaeological research conducted in 1973 indicates that the church's chancel is older and dates from the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. As a result of the reconstruction in 1447, a rectangular nave was added to the chancel. In 1623, the suburban buildings, along with the church, were burned down in preparation for the defense of the city against the Danish troops of General Ernst von Mansfeld. When rebuilding the church after the destruction (after 1626), a tower was added to the nave and the chancel vault was changed. On August 25, 1683, the baptism of Bartłomiej, son of a soldier from the army of King John III Sobieski, who was passing through the city at the time, took place in the church. Until 1843, a cemetery operated around the church. On April 28, 1850, a newly built organ was consecrated in the church. The instrument was made by Johann Mathias Vinzenz Haas from Baborów (German: Bauerwitz).

A picturesque bridge, but be careful - road tires can happily disappear between the planks!

The bridge is passable, but I recommend extreme caution when crossing. There are large holes and torn planks through which you can see the water of the Gliwice canal. It is safer to get off your bike at this point. P.S. I was surprised by the total lack of information about this bridge on Komoot maps.
