NOWE-MIASTO-NAD-WARTĄ
A communal village situated in Jarocin district (powiat), on the Warta river, 11 km north-west of Żerkowo.
Built in the latter half of 15th century, the church is a three-nave hall-like building, with a multilaterally contained presbytery. Adjacent to the northern nave is a sacristry and St. Anne’s chapel built in 1593, which opens toward the church’s interior through two arcades. By the southern nave is a late-renaissance St. Anthony’s chapel from 1614. The presbytery and the naves are covered by stellar vaults; St. Anthony’s chapel has a dome above it.
The church’s interior is ornamented by a late-renaissance polychrome dating to the late 16th/early 17th century, unveiled in 1959 from under later-date paintings. The furnishings are mostly baroque, from 17th or 18th century. The older objects of historic interest include renaissance stalls from 2nd half of 16th c.; a renaissance sacramentary finial with a sandstone bas-relieved bust featuring God the Father, dating to ca. 1520, and renaissance erection tables for both chapels, set in one of the walls of St. Anthony’s chapel. In the passageway from the sacristry to the church preserved is a sheet-metal-clad gothic door.
