Kościół i parafia we Wrzesinie w świetle protokołów powizytacyjnych z drugiej połowy XVI wieku

Abstract

In the Archives of the Archdiocese of Warmia in Olsztyn there are two documents of the latter part of the 16th century including information on the parish in Wrzesina. One of them is the description from around 1580, whereas the other post-visitation protocol is of 1598. They are not too detailed, but allow to trace back the date of the consecration of the church and the altars and its equipment. They also offer information about the pastors and teacher and in the case of the 1598 Protocol also the attitude of parishioners to the parish priest. Much attention was paid to material matters as well. From the description of about 1580 we can also learn about the towns belonging to the parish.
