Cerkiew św. Dymitra w Piątkowej

Cerkiew św. Dymitra w Piątkowej, Eastern Orthodox church in Piątkowa, Poland

Cerkiew sw. Dymitra is a wooden Orthodox church featuring three domes set on octagonal drums and supported by stone pillars, all covered with wooden shingles. Inside, the building contains a stone floor and an altar in the sanctuary, though some of the original icons are now preserved in the Przemyśl Cathedral.

The structure was built in 1732 and underwent significant restoration work in 1881, reflecting changing needs over time. After World War II, it remained abandoned for decades before receiving restoration efforts between 1958 and 1961.

The church marks an important place in the memory of the region's Orthodox community, who gathered here for centuries to practice their faith. Though few worshippers visit regularly today, it remains a testament to the religious diversity that once characterized southeastern Poland.

The building can be viewed from outside, though access for visitors is limited. It is worth contacting local authorities or the heritage organization in advance to learn about current visiting conditions, as the church remains under active monument protection.

The church represents one of the few surviving examples of tripartite dome architecture in southeastern Poland, making it a rare testimony to this building tradition. A heritage association received official permission in 2011 to undertake restoration work with support from the Ministry of Culture.
