Nowy Korczyn, formerly known as Nowe Miasto Korczyn was established before 1258 by Boleslaus the Chaste. It used to be an important trade and political center. In the 17th century, the town began a decline and lost its city status in 1869. The village had a large Jewish community, in the 1920s more than 60% of the population was Jewish. The very most of them were murdered in the Holocaust. The Holy Trinity Church is a single-nave building built in the 16th century and rebuilt in 1608. The side chapels were built in the 17th century and are covered with domes crowned by a lantern. The mannerist portal from 1634 leads to the interior of the church

The late Gothic church made of larch wood is one of the oldest wooden churches in Poland. The rood screen bears the date 1459. After a reconstruction in 1654 it was consecrated. Reconstructions took place in the first half of the 19th century. The church has a block structure, standing on a stone foundation and is reinforced on both sides. When the wooden church became too small for the parish, in 1906-1908 the western wall was demolished and a neo-Romanesque brick nave, seen here, was added. The wooden bell tower was also built around this time.
