| The Greek Catholic Filial Church of St. Demetrius in Szczawnik (currently a Roman Catholic Filial Church) was built in 1841. It was repeatedly repaired in the second half of the C20th. It is a tripartite West Lemko church built using log-construction with shingled walls. The ornamental-figurative polychrome was applied in 1936-37. The fittings include: a late baroque iconostasis from the turn of the C19th, an altar with a C19th icon of the Crucifixion in the chancel, and late baroque side altars in the nave with paintings of: The Transfiguration of Our Lord and The Mourning of Christ. The chancel walls contain an impressive collection of interesting icons. |
