| The Greek Catholic church of St. Paraskevia in Nowica was most probably built in 1842-43. This tripartite church of the very late western-Lemko style has log-framework structure. The church walls are shingled while the roofs and turrets with false lanterns topping them covered with sheet metal. The tower, with inclined walls and a false overhung loft, has pillar - framework construction. The church interior is adorned with polychrome decoration (1927). Between the nave and the presbytery stands a full iconostasis (end of the 18th century). In the middle of the presbytery is an 18th-century main altarpiece while the nave features a late - baroque side altarpiece (second half of the 1700s) with icons showing the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Child and St. John the Baptist. |
