The Cemetery Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Iwkowa
|
 Iwkowa gmina: Iwkowa |
| The Cemetery Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Iwkowa dates from the second half of the C15th and is one of the oldest churches in Małopolska. The low post-construction spire was added in 1619. Fragments of late-renaissance figurative polychrome have survived to the present day. Best preserved are the scenes in the chancel representing the apostles and The Passion of Our Lord. Two beautiful C15th portals capped with trefoil arches have been preserved in the nave. Among the most precious church relics are the sculptures on the rood beam: a C15th crucifix and the figures of Our Lady and John the Evangelist from the end of the C14th. |
