Geocache Description:


[Latviski]

Nīcgales Romas katoļu baznīca atrodas A6 šosejas ceļmalā. Nīcgale ir mazs ciems, kas pirmoreiz minēts jau 1254.gadā! Padomju laikos ciems piedzīvoja strauju izaugsmi, jo netālu tika uzbūvēta keramzīta rūpnīca. Latvijas laikos daudzi ciema iedzīvotāji aizbrauca uz Daugavpili, Rīgu, Angliju, Īriju, taču Nīcgale joprojām turpina pastāvēt kā mazs ciems ceļmalā Daugavas krastos.

Pirmā un vienīgā baznīca Nīcgalē bija uzcelta jau 1803.gadā; tā bija no koka. 1863.gadā uzbūvēja jauno mūra ēku, kas smagi cieta 1.pasaules kara laikā. Pēc kara sākās baznīcas atjaunošanas darbi, kas ritēja arī padomju laikos.
