St. Margaret’s Church, Izdebnik

The origins of the Izdebnik parish date back to the early years of the 14th century, with the earliest record dating back to 1335 and relating to Peter’s Pence paid by the parish. In the 16th century the seat of the parish was moved to Lanckorona but was re-established in Izdebnik in 1901. According to tradition, the first church in Izdebnik was located on the site of today’s St. Valentine’s Chapel. The second one was built opposite the present church, on the other side of the trunk road. The current structure was built between 1839 and 1841. It is a church in the so-called Josephine style, with a rectangular, single-span nave with internal wall pillars and a square chancel closed with a straight wall. A tower with an early 20th-century tented roof is situated on the extension of the nave. On the 1911 main altar is an 1897 painting of Our Lady of the Rosary in the Pompeian style, painted by Władysław Rossowski, a pupil of Jan Matejko. On the side-altar on the left is a 19th-century painting of the church’s patron saint, St Margaret of Antioch, virgin and martyr. On the side altar on the right is a painting of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus from the World War II era. The nave of the church is enclosed by two small altars, one of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Holy Virgin Mary and the other of. Anthony.
