The parish in Wysokienice was established in 1347 by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno, Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki. The first parish church was supposed to have five altars. At the beginning of the 16th century, it was pastored by two priests: a parish priest and a vicar. It was supposedly consecrated only in 1540 by the suffragan bishop of Gniezno, Jan Busiński, but it is not known under what name. The church burned down together with the entire village of Wysokienice on 20 October 1749. A new church, larch, oriented, of log construction, boarded, dedicated to St. Martin the Bishop was built in 1758, funded by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno, Adam Komorowski, the primate of Poland, on exactly the same site as the previous one. Since there was no home for the vicar after the fire, only one priest, Fr. Tomasz Jachowicz, who funded three altars, was in charge of the church. The interior of the church was maintained from the beginning in the late Baroque style combined with Rococo. This is indicated by the late Baroque side altars with Rococo decoration and paintings of saints. In time, the parishioners funded two more altars from contributions, so the church was restored to its original state with five altars.
