St. Martin's Church in Linówiec – a wooden branch church dedicated to St. Martin. 🪵 History and Construction - The church was founded in 1749 by the village owner, Sebastian Cząstkowski. - Built using log construction on a stone foundation, it is timbered and oriented – in keeping with tradition, the chancel faces east. - The church has a hall-like layout, without a separate chancel, and is enclosed on three sides. - The mansard roof, covered with sheet metal, is topped by an octagonal bell tower with an onion-shaped dome and a lantern. 🎨 Interior and Furnishings - The interior is covered with a flat ceiling with a coving, and the choir loft, supported by two columns, houses the organ case. - The main altar comes from the Reformed Friars Minor monastery in Pakość – Baroque, from the first quarter of the 18th century, with sculptures of adoring angels and a painting of the Marriage of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Joseph – a rare motif in church iconography. - At the top of the altar is an oval painting of St. Martin. - The side altar and pulpit represent the Baroque-folk style, from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. - Remnants of polychrome paintings have survived, as well as a granite stoup and a processional cross with the date "1756."

Beautiful spot on this bridge, with Lake Mrówieckie on one side and Lake Suszewskie on the other. You'll probably want to take a few pictures...

Anastazewo was to be a connection of the Gniezno Narrow Gauge Railway (the tracks ran further to the Konin Narrow Gauge station) with the standard gauge line no. 239 from Mogilno through Orchowo, according to the original assumptions further through Witkowo to Września. Ultimately, the line from Orchowo was never extended, only a section of the tracks was extended beyond the viaduct along Tadeusza Kościuszki Street towards the south and ended with a buffer trestle.
