It is a building of Gothic origin. This is evidenced, among other things, by the specific, thick, buttressed walls; entrance to the sacristy with a stone, ogival portal and roof trusses, visible in the attic, with the so-called "orchid" structure. The whole is a modest "hall" building made of broken stone, without a separate chancel, with a three-sided closure from the east and a wooden ceiling.
The cemetery temple in Leśnica belongs to the local parish of the Holy Trinity and is a place of lively religious worship. Every year, on March 25, the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, a church fair is celebrated here. And on the first day of Easter, a traditional procession takes place from the parish church of the Holy Trinity to the church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Numerous services are also celebrated here, especially in the period from May to October, and on All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.
Cemetery church in Leśnica
Historical records indicate the 12th century as the time of construction. The first mention of Leśnica, which was then owned by the brothers Sebastian and Grzegorz, comes from a document drawn up in 1217. In it, Prince Casimir of Opole gave his consent to foreigners settling here, freeing them from the burdens of princely law. They were to enjoy the same rights that settlers in Opole and Racibórz had previously received.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
