The origins of the parish are linked to the first written record of the town of Lipany, dating from 1312, which mentions the parish priest Henrich of Lipany (de Septem Thyliis). Based on documents from the period between 1315 and 1330, it can be assumed that the settlement of Siedmich l\u00edp was already functioning as a parish within the vice-archdeaconry in 1302 and even earlier. The existence of a church can be assumed to have gone hand in hand with that of the parish. The church was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries in the Late Romanesque style in the centre of what was then the settlement; it was dedicated to St Martin, Bishop of Tours, and was the property of the lords of Kamenick\u00fd Castle. The church was founded by Rikolf Tarcai\/Tarczay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the centuries, the church has changed in appearance. The probable original floor plan, dating from between 1300 and 1320, consisted of a nave, a chancel, a choir, a sacristy and a tower. The church ceiling did not have Gothic vaults as it does today, but was flat. It was constructed from wooden beams and wooden panelling, which made the nave appear more imposing. The church tower served as a lookout point for Kamenick\u00fd Castle<\/a> and from an architectural point of view, it is clear that the church tower does not form a unified whole with the nave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The highlight of the church in Lipany is the late-Gothic high altar in the chancel, which dates from the workshop of Master Paul of Levo\u010da between 1512 and 1520. Beneath the church are two crypts \u2013 the De\u017e\u00f6fi family tombs; one is beneath the sanctuary and the other beneath the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The frames of the church doors are the work of Master Vincent of Ragusa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The church is surrounded by greenery \u2013 a small park with an ancient lime tree. In the church courtyard stand statues of St Martin, St Jude and St Florian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: lipany.sk
