Gromnik
The Church of St. Martin of Tours in Gromnik
|
Gromnik gmina: Gromnik |
The Church of St. Martin of Tours in Gromnik was erected in 1727 and currently lies unused. It is a single-nave buildling covered by a shingled roof to which an unusual pillared spire with a spherical cupola has been added. The church vault is covered by C19th painted decoration imitating a starry sky. The fittings date mainly from the second half of the C18th. On the baroque, unusually curved, rood beam there is a late-gothic crucifix from the end of the C15th. The late-baroque main altar contains a painting of St. Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar from around 1720-1730 (in the background of the painting you can see the previous Gromnik church). |
