Tips
A small wooden temple built in the interwar period is considered one of the most picturesque and original sacred buildings in Mazovia. Its unique character is created by an unusual form in this region, associated with the wooden religious architecture of the southern regions of Poland. Temples of Orava or Hutsul region, as well as Uniate churches of the Low Beskids are indicated as more detailed analogies. The unusual shape was probably influenced by the echoes of the search for the national style from the turn of the 19th and 20th century, among others based on old wooden building designs.source and bibliography: zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/radachowka-kaplica-pw-mb-czestochowska
