On the grounds of stylistic-comparative analyses, the court church in Cieszków (construction b. 1753) and the Trinitarian Church in Krotoszyn (1767-74), have been so far associated with Carl Martin Frantz (1712-55), the major promoter in Poland and one of the most important ones in Silesia of the architectural language of Christoph and Kilián Ignátz Dientzenhofer. However, some newly discovered sources have allowed us to revise this hypothesis. A document dated 25 November 1753 commemorating the foundation of the Cieszków church names two master masons who conducted its construction: Carl Joseph Pöltz of Wrocław and Leopold Ostritz of Trzebnica. The fact questions the authorship of Carl Martin Frantz.
