The Cemetery Church of St. Anne in Nowy Targ
|
 Nowy Targ gmina: Nowy Targ |
| The Cemetery Church of St. Anne in Nowy Targ arose, or so claims the tradition, in 1219, and was founded by robbers who plundered a painting of St. Anne in Hungary before placing it into the church altar. The date given appears false, as the current parish is first mentioned in the C14th. The building was erected using log construction. The interior walls of the church are covered by polychrome decoration applied by the local painter Hipolit Lipiński in 1880. Figurative scenes have been painted on the walls while the vaulting has coffers with rosettes. The church fittings include the main altar from the first half of the C18th and a painting of the Great Family (1516). |
