History
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was erected in 1746. It was renovated in the years 1974-1975.
Description
The village of Myślniew is located to the south-east of Ostrzeszów. The church is oriented towards the east. It has one nave (with no aisles). The building has a wooden log structure. The exterior walls are covered with weatherboards. The nave is adjoined by a small chancel, terminating in a semi-hexagon, on the east side and a tower, tapering towards the top, with a porch at the ground floor level, on the west side. The tower has a post-and-beam structure and is covered with a Baroque roof made of sheet metal, topped with a double lantern and a cross. The building is complemented by a quadrangular sacristy adjoining the chancel on the north side and a porch adjoining the nave, both covered with three-pitched roofs. The two-ridge roof, having wide eaves, is covered with eternit and sheet metal. It is surmounted by a steeple with a lantern topped by a spire and a cross. Inside, there is a false barrel vault, slightly flattened in the chancel. The church fittings include a Late Baroque main altar, side altars, and pulpit. The rood beam is adorned with a Crucifixion Group with the date of the construction of the church: “1746”. The music gallery, enclosed with a balustrade, is supported by two wooden posts. The graveyard is covered with trees.
The church can only be visited from the outside.
