St. Martin's Church in Linówiec – a wooden branch church dedicated to St. Martin.
🪵 History and Construction
- The church was founded in 1749 by the village owner, Sebastian Cząstkowski.
- Built using log construction on a stone foundation, it is timbered and oriented – in keeping with tradition, the chancel faces east.
- The church has a hall-like layout, without a separate chancel, and is enclosed on three sides.
- The mansard roof, covered with sheet metal, is topped by an octagonal bell tower with an onion-shaped dome and a lantern.
🎨 Interior and Furnishings
- The interior is covered with a flat ceiling with a coving, and the choir loft, supported by two columns, houses the organ case. - The main altar comes from the Reformed Friars Minor monastery in Pakość – Baroque, from the first quarter of the 18th century, with sculptures of adoring angels and a painting of the Marriage of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Joseph – a rare motif in church iconography.
- At the top of the altar is an oval painting of St. Martin.
- The side altar and pulpit represent the Baroque-folk style, from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
- Remnants of polychrome paintings have survived, as well as a granite stoup and a processional cross with the date "1756."
