Saints Cosmas and Damian Church in Skwirtne, Eastern Orthodox church in Skwirtne, Poland.

The wooden church features three rectangular sections with separate shingled roofs, following traditional western Lemko architectural patterns and construction methods.

Built in 1837 as a Greek Catholic Lemko church, the structure underwent significant renovations in 1900, adding figural and ornamental polychromy to its interior.

The church interior displays marble-like column decorations and ceiling paintings of the Holy Trinity, reflecting Eastern Orthodox religious artistic traditions.

The church contains three main areas: the presbytery, the nave, and the babiniec, with the latter section designated specifically for female worshippers.

Following the 1947 Vistula operation, this Eastern Orthodox church transformed into a Roman Catholic place of worship under Uście Gorlickie parish administration.
