| The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as “on the Burek” (the church is dedicated to: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the parish is dedicated to: Our Lady of the Scapular) was erected before 1458, on the Wątok stream. It is one of the oldest wooden churches in Małopolska (Lesser Poland). The pillar spire with a bell house, capped by a spherical cupola and lantern, was added in 1910. Inside, the flat coffered ceilings (in the nave) are covered by polychrome decoration from the 1930s the work of Tadeusz Terlecki. On the north wall of the chancel you can make out the remnants of late renaissance ornamental polychrome from the C16th-C17th. The rococo main altar dates from the second half of the C18th, and its central panel has a C16th painting of Madonna with Child. |
