Church of the Visitation in Iwkowa

The Church of the Visitation features wooden log construction with steep roofs, two entrance portals topped with trefoil arches, and a rectangular nave with chancel.

The church stands on the site of a 14th-century structure, with the current building dating to the late 15th century and the tower added in 1619.

The interior contains medieval art pieces including a 15th-century crucifix, figures of Our Lady and John the Evangelist, and late Gothic figural polychrome decorations.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can examine the architectural details, preserved medieval elements, and religious artifacts within the structure.

The building incorporates log construction techniques without nails, where wooden beams connect at corners to form solid walls supporting the entire structure.
