Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Church, Owczary, Greek Orthodox church in Owczary, Poland

The wooden Orthodox church stands with its prominent tower from 1783, featuring a traditional three-part structure and shingled exterior walls.

The current church was constructed in 1653 after the previous structure collapsed due to unstable foundation conditions in the area.

The interior displays an eighteenth-century iconostasis with blue, red, and gold decorations, including openwork columns featuring vine leaf patterns.

The church serves both Roman Catholic and Ukrainian Greek Catholic congregations, maintaining regular services for both religious communities.

The church received international recognition through the Europa Nostra award for its 1980s restoration of the shingled roofing construction.
