The Orthodox church in Powroźnik existed from 1600, but only a part of the original building has survived, integrated into the body of the present church as a sacristy. The appearance of the modern church was formed between the 17th and 18th centuries, but the reconstruction in 1813 played a decisive role. The church was then moved from its former location to a slightly higher place due to the risk of flooding. Then the temple was expanded. After Operation Vistula, the building was taken over by the Latin Church.

Beautiful Orthodox Church on the UNESCO list. It is worth listening to the guide Mr. Paweł who tells about the history of the church
