About Cerkiew św. Michała Archanioła w Turzańsku
The Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Turzańsk is part of the group of wooden tserkvas of the Carpathians recognized as World Heritage. Its roofs and volumes reflect an eastern temple tradition different from the Latin wooden churches of other locations.
The division into parts and the religious decoration help to understand the building's liturgical use. The interest lies both in the exterior form and in the internal arrangement, which should not be seen as merely a decorative variation of large urban basilicas.
Confirm access with the local community or service before setting out on the road. The temple retains a religious function and does not necessarily operate with a museum routine. A visit from Sanok can be combined with other stops, provided there is time for the travel and to view the ensemble without hurry.
