| The Orthodox Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Wysowa (previously a Greek Catholic Church) was erected in 1779 on the site of a previous church which burnt down in 1777 during fighting between the Bar Confederates and the Russian Army. The church belongs to the group of West Lemko religious buildings. Originally it was tripartite but it is now a bipartite building – in 1910 the nave was enlarged to include the porch. The neo-gothic polychrome decoration dates from 1912-13. The interior contains a complete C18th baroque iconostasis, while the north side of the nave has a baroque side altar with an icon of Our Lady. |
