"In the village of Łodygowice, near Żywiec, there is one of the interesting monuments of the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian Voivodeship. The 17th-century church, the result of the expansion of an earlier chapel and rebuilt in later centuries, is a log structure made of larch wood. The temple is surrounded by narthexes. It is one of the largest wooden churches in the Polish Beskids.

The church in Łodygowice is located in the Żywiec district and is a parish church belonging to the Bielsko-Żywiec diocese. The beginnings of the temple (according to the oldest sources) date back to the 13th century. The first religious building here was a chapel dedicated to St. Stanislaus, belonging to the parish in nearby Żywiec. When Łodygowice became a separate parish with a fairly large number of inhabitants, it was decided to expand the existing temple - which happened in the years 1634-35. Since then, two new patrons have appeared, who became the apostles Simon and Jude Thaddeus. The expanded church was consecrated in 1636, and a bell tower was erected in 1644. Further expansions took place in 1687, when a new, larger presbytery was built, and in the years 1748-99, when the tower was rebuilt, the main nave was widened and side chapels were added. The shape of the church that was given at that time has survived to this day. The single-nave building in the shape of a cross is built on a framework of larch logs. The roof is covered with shingles. The length of the church is approx. 40 meters. The sacristy and the Ogrojec chapel with a figure of Christ the Sorrowful are adjacent to the polygonal presbytery. On the sides of the main nave are the chapels of Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Francis of Assisi. The church's polychrome was made in 1929. The Łodygowice church, representing the Silesian-Lesser Poland style, is one of the largest wooden churches in the Beskids. The building is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian Voivodeship.
