History
The first church in Marcinki was mentioned in written records dating from 1535. The present church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was built in 1803. In 1830, it was decorated with wall paintings, which were renovated in 1897. During World War II, the Germans robbed the church of a chalice, a monstrance, chasubles, linen, candlesticks, and banners, among other things. The building was renovated in the years 1930 and 1975.
Description
The village of Marcinki is located 11 km to the south-west of Ostrzeszów. It has a wooden log structure. The church is oriented to the east; it has a rectangular floor plan with one nave and no aisles. Its walls, made of wood, rest on a stone and brick wall base. The short chancel, lower than the nave, adjoined by a sacristy on the north side, terminates in a flat wall. A porch adjoins the nave on the south side. On the west side, the nave is adjoined by a low tower having a post-and-beam structure, with slightly sloping walls, covered with a sheet metal pyramid hipped roof; there is a porch at the ground floor level. The two-ridge roof with broad eaves is covered with wood shingles; it is surmounted by a round, wooden steeple with a lantern and an onion-shaped cupola made of sheet metal. The church fittings include a Late-Renaissance altar, a decorative rood beam with a Baroque Crucifixion Group from the 2nd half of the 18th century, and partially preserved folk wall paintings from c. 1830. The church yard is enclosed with a modern fence; a number of trees surround the church.
The church can only be visited from the outside.
