The parish church in Ujazd is an interesting monument of the region. Its origins date back to the 13th century. The present church was built in 1613 on the initiative of the then owner of Ujazd, Nicholas Kochcicki, who was buried in the depths of the church.
Over the following centuries, the building was rebuilt several times, in the 18th century it underwent modernization work, and in the second half of the 19th century two masonry towers were added in the Neo-Gothic style. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church was enlarged by a chancel, sacristy and parish hall, thanks to which the church gained its present size and interior layout.
The interior of the church is impressive with rich sacred furnishings. There is a Baroque altar by the Czech sculptor Bernard Kutzer from 1823, a pulpit with rich polychrome from 1826, and a Renaissance painting from the second half of the 16th century depicting the Mother of God with the Child between Saints Barbara and Dorothy. Additionally, the church houses the Throne of Mercy with the image of the Holy Trinity and the Sorrowful Christ.
The church of St. Andrew the Apostle is listed in the register of monuments and serves as the spiritual center of the Ujazd parish. It is an important cultural and tourist point of the region, recalling the centuries-long presence of Christianity in this part of the Opole region.
