The Church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God in Szczebrzeszyn is a unique religious monument – the oldest building belonging to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The temple has a turbulent history: from a Catholic church, through a Calvinist congregation, a Uniate church, to an Orthodox church. After years of abandonment, it was restored, and during the works, 17th-century wall paintings were uncovered and the iconostasis was recreated. The church on Sądowa Street is worth visiting, especially if you are interested in the history of religious denominations and architecture.
