Saint Martin church in Swarzędz

Saint Martin church in Swarzędz, Catholic church in Swarzędz, Poland.

Description

Saint Martin Church is a brick building with a three-story tower topped by a conical cupola that rises above the town. The interior features a single nave with a lower chancel, surrounded by various annexes and covered entrance areas.

History

The original wooden structure was replaced in the 16th century with a brick building sponsored by the Górka family. This construction marked the shift from medieval wooden architecture to permanent brick building.

Culture

The interior displays wall paintings created by artists in the 1960s using fresco techniques that shape the appearance of the space. These decorations show how the church was artistically transformed during the post-war period.

Practical

The building is located northwest of Swarzędz town square and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can experience the church during worship services or visit for a look at its architectural features.

Did you know?

The interior combines a wooden ceiling vault in the nave with a hemispherical vault over the chancel, separated by a semicircular rood beam. This mixture of different vault types in one space creates an unusual spatial effect.
