Nowy Korczyn

The Holy Trinity Church (Kościół Świętej Trójcy) in Nowy Korczyn, a village in southern Poland, was built between the years 1610 and 1634 in place of the former 15th century church of St. Elisabeth and St. Lawrence, which had gone up in flames in 1608.

The new church built in a mixed Gothic-Renaissance style was consecrated in 1659 by the Bishop of Cracow Andrzej Trzebnicki.

The church is remarkable for its western front with the main portal (1632) in the Mannerist style, Baroque high altar from 1692, vault decorated with stucco ornaments, and a fragment of late-Gothic triptych representing the Mourning of Christ.

A detached neo-Gothic bell tower was added in 1889.
