Greek Catholic church in Czarna

The wooden church features a tripartite structure with a pillar-framework tower, eastern-oriented presbytery, and metal-covered roofs with bulbous domes and false lanterns.

Built in 1834, this Greek Catholic church of Saint Demetrius underwent modifications and now serves as a Roman Catholic church of the Virgin Mary of Perpetual Help.

The interior contains an iconostasis from the 1700s and a baroque altarpiece with an early 1600s Virgin Mary with Child icon known as Hodegetria.

The church maintains its position as an immovable monument under Polish cultural heritage designation, registered with identifier A-137 since March 12, 1969.

The church represents north-western Lemko architectural traditions, combining log framework construction with detailed polychrome decorations from the first half of 1800s.
