Sacred Architecture, Historical

The oldest (approx. 1580) wooden Greek Catholic church in Poland. Atypically located and constructed. It is another Subcarpathian church on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

It is situated on a small, sloping(!) hill in a valley. Looking at the walls surrounding the temple (with a level difference of several meters), one might see a "careless construction" – it is only from the perspective of an escarpment a few dozen meters away that this extraordinary architectural trick can be fully appreciated. It is a traditional tripartite structure (narthex, nave, chancel) topped with characteristic shingled roofs. The building is surrounded by wooden arcades (soboty). There is a cemetery located next to the church.
