Chotyniec

Chotyniec is a small village in Subcarpathian Voivodeship situated near the Ukrainian border. The settlement is primarily known for its historic wooden church, which stands as a protected cultural landmark.

The church was founded in 1617 and underwent major reconstruction in the 18th century that shaped its current form. After closures in the 20th century, the building was gradually restored and remains an important part of local history.

The church displays a complete iconostasis and religious artworks that reflect the Eastern Orthodox traditions of the area. These elements show how faith shaped daily life in this border village.

The village is most easily reached from the nearby town of Radymno, which has good transportation connections. Visitors should be prepared for limited infrastructure and plan ahead when visiting.

The wooden church received World Heritage recognition in 2013 as part of a series of historic Tserkvas in a mountain region. This designation highlights the building's importance to European cultural heritage.
