This very small building was created nearly 500 years ago. As it happened with other wooden churches in the area, it was left without much care after a new church was built in the village, in 1903, which later led to the dismantling of its ruined tower twenty years ago. Luckily, the authorities noticed the uniqueness of the church and it's protection and conservation started.
There are beautiful 17th century polichromia inside with two curiosities worth your special attention: a painted 17 century panorama of the Tatra Mountains as seen from Trybsz hills and a visionary image of the Czorsztyn and Sromowce Lakes which were created only 350 years later (when the dams were built!).
