The Parish Church of St Martin in Chlewo is an example of 17th-century wooden ecclesiastical architecture characteristic of the southern part of Greater Poland.

History

The Parish Church of St Martin, founded by Feliks Karsznicki, was built in 1651. A tower was added in 1794. The church underwent renovations in the years 1981-1984 and in 1992.

Description

The village of Chlewo is located 11 km to the north-east of Ostrzeszów. The church, having a wooden log structure covered with weatherboards, is oriented to the east. It has one nave (with no aisles). The chancel, terminating in a polygon, is adjoined by a sacristy on the north side. A tower, having a quadrangular floor plan, was built onto the west wall of the nave; its lower part has a log structure and a small roof connected with the nave roof, whereas its upper, narrower part, has a post-and-beam structure and is covered with a tented roof with wood shingles. There is a porch at the ground floor level. The walls are covered with weatherboards. The date of the construction of the tower — “1794” — in engraved on the stone floor of the porch. The two-ridge roof over the nave and the chancel is also covered with wood shingles. It is surmounted by a steeple topped with a lantern with an onion-shaped cupola. The three-pitched sacristy roof is covered with sheet metal. Inside, there is a flat ceiling made of beams and boards. In the western section of the church, there is a music gallery enclosed with a bulging parapet, resting on four wooden posts. The rood beam is decorated with statues and a crucifix. The church has Baroque interior fittings. The former church graveyard is enclosed with a brick wall with a gate. A number of ashes and chestnut trees grow in the graveyard.

The church can only be visited from the outside.
