POGWIZDOW - WOOD LOG CONSTRUCTION CHURCH IN LESSER POLAND

A parish church of St. Simon and St. Jude Thaddeus in Pogwizdow , Lesser Poland.



Built on the turn of  XV and XVI century in a baroque style church has a wood log construction and is cladded with vertical timber.



That is a shame that they cladded it, as the wood log construction is much more attractive than just a usual cladding. It used to be covered with wood shingles but now the roof is lined with metal sheeting, which has again less charm than the original.



It has a single nave with a prezbytery ended polygonaly.Interior has a flat panelled ceiling and three original baroque oltars form 2-nd half of XVII and XVIII century.



The church is being renovated at the moment,.
