St. Michael's church, Katowice

The timber structure features a square nave, narrower chancel, steep gable roofs covered with shingles, and a slender turret on the ridge.

Built in 1487 in Syrynia village, the church was moved to its present location in Katowice during 1938 as part of a heritage park project.

The interior houses a late-Gothic sculpture of the Mother of God with Child from the early 16th century and a 15th-century stone stoup.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and undergoes continuous preservation work to protect its wooden structure from environmental factors.

The church's log construction uses minimally processed half-round logs with a simple method of tying wreaths, displaying medieval carpentry techniques.
