The new church was built in 1694 and in the following century the name of the patron saint was changed from St Catherine to St Barbara. The Marian picture remained in the centre of the church and it was adorned with two silver crowns. In the 18th century, the church was renovated and expanded. In the beginning of the 19th century, a choir was added, the sacristy was expanded as well as the treasure room and the vestibule.

The next stage took place in 1990, when the foundations were reinforced and aisles were added together with a porch. In 1993, the interior paintings were enriched in order to supplement the previous ones. In the 21sth century, heating was added and, in the second decade, restoration experts took care of the main and side altars as well as the organ and the bell tower.

This church was built in 1694. Initially, it was the church of the Mother of God and of St Catherine. Thanks to the efforts of Andrzej Zieliński, at the end of the 18th century, a chapel and a porch were added. In 1814, during renovation works, a choir and a ceiling were executed. It was expanded at the end of the 19th century – the front porch and the sacristy were enlarged. In 1990, it was rebuilt – two aisles were added, a porch as well as polychromy and stained-glass windows. In 2011, the roofing was replaced.

The wooden log structure church has a presbytery with a three-sided closure, a treasure room and a sacristy on the sides. The nave has a porch in the front and on the sides. The roof is topped with a ridge turret having a characteristic cupola with a lantern. When visiting the interior, it is worth paying attention to the organ front executed in the second half of the 19th century. One of the side altars was made in the 17th century and the second, just like the pulpit, in the 18th century.

Once in Chrostkowo, it is also worth visiting other monuments in the vicinity. In the village of Nietrzeba there is a wooden water mill from 1850, in the nearby towns of Głęboczek and Nowa Wieś – two granaries and in Janiszewo there is a brick chapel from the first half of the 19th century and a windmill from 1885.

However, our readers have to know that there is yet another gem in this neighbourhood. It is the area called Morena Chrostkowska. It is a group of unique postglacial landforms called drumlins. The word drumlin comes from the Irish and Scottish word “druim” meaning a ridge. Drumlins in the Morena Chrostkowska are low oval hills with an elongated, asymmetrical profile. They were caused by movements of an ice sheet.
