Pride of Szalowa - a wooden church from the 1730s. It is worth noting that at the time of its foundation, Augustus III of Saxony, the penultimate king of Poland, began his rule and the hussars were still a significant force in the Polish army. Inventions such as the steam engine, the telephone or even the light bulb were not yet known - the pinnacle of modernity at that time was the mercury thermometer invented a few years earlier.

It is a wooden baroque basilica churches unique on a European scale. It was lodged in 1736 or 1739. A unique structural element is the two timbered towers with spherical helmets added in the western part of the nave, which with a triangular pediment between them form a uniform facade. The pediment is decorated with an eighteenth-century sculpture of St. Archangel Michael fighting Satan in the form of a dragon.
