Info
Wooden architecture is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of past generations, blending functionality with timeless beauty. In Southern Poland, these historic wooden churches stand as remarkable examples of traditional building techniques, constructed entirely without nails and adorned with intricate details. Each structure reflects the unique cultural and spiritual heritage of the region, making them a must-see for history and architecture enthusiasts alike.
The program includes visits to four carefully selected wooden churches from the following list: Lipnica Murowana, Binarowa, Sękowa, Owczary, Iwkowa, and Dębno Podhalańskie, depending on their availability on the day of your tour. If any of these churches are inaccessible, you will visit the fascinating Ethnographic Park in Nowy Sącz as an alternative.

A great travel agency
AB Poland worked with me to completely customize my three days in Poland and make the most of my time. They answered all of my questions, made great suggestions and built the perfect itinerary all at reasonable enough prices. Plus, my guides Jacek in Warsaw and Kinga in Krakow were knowledgeable and friendly hosts, making conversation easy. Have nothing bad to say at all. I would highly recommend AB Poland.
