St. Philip and St. Jacob the Apostles’ Church in Sękowa


General


St. Philip and St. Jacob the Apostles' Church in Sękowa is believed to be one of the most beautiful wooden historic buildings in Poland.

The church, built at the beginning of 16th century, is often referred to as a Gem of Beskid Niski. It was built using manually hewed larch wood covered with shingle. The church is a one-nave one with the chancel closed off at three sides. The interior is meagre, since the church was devastated during the wartime at the turn of 1914 and 1915. Wooden elements from the church were used to build trenches and consumed as firewood. However, the church was reconstructed and today visitors may admire here, among other things, late Renaissance altar dating back to 17th century and a stone baptismal font from 1522. In 2003, together with other wooden churches from the voivodeships of Małopolska and Podkarpacie, the church was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
