Saint Martin’s Church In Martincek With Wooden Marquises Around During Summer Sunset Stock Photo

Saint Martin’s Church in Martincek with wooden marquises around to store potatoes and vegetables. The church was built around 1260. It served as a parish temple for the nearby towns of Likava and Lisková, as the village of Martin?ek was founded at the church until several centuries later. Around 1320, the entire interior was decorated with valuable frescoes. They were destroyed in the seventeenth century, because this object was used by Protestants. Subsequent changes were made in the 18th and in the second half of the 19th century. Inside the presbytery of the church, a group of murals has been preserved, which are one of the best kept in Slovakia and probably the oldest of its kind in Liptov region, Europe, Slovakia.
