Sękowa, Historic village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
The settlement extends across rolling hills near the Polish-Slovak border, 7 kilometers southeast of Gorlice and 105 kilometers from Krakow.
King Kazimierz Wielki established Sękowa through an official decree on February 22, 1363, marking the beginning of its documented history.
St. Philip's and St. James' church, constructed in the early 16th century, displays traditional wooden architecture with detailed hand-carved elements throughout its structure.
