Church of the Pokrov in Jawor Mountain

Church of the Pokrov in Jawor Mountain, Eastern Orthodox sanctuary on Jawor Mountain, Wysowa-Zdrój, Poland

The wooden Church of the Pokrov sits on Jawor Mountain and shows typical Eastern Orthodox architectural forms with characteristic domes and decorative details. The timber structure blends harmoniously with the surrounding forest landscape.

The church was built to provide the Orthodox community in the region with a place of worship. Since then, it has served as an important structure in the religious history of this area.

The church draws believers from the region who come to experience traditional Orthodox worship services. The site is maintained and used by the local community as a spiritual center.

Access is via a marked hiking trail that starts from the village pump house and passes through woodland. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions.

The church was built entirely from local timber and demonstrates craftsmanship techniques passed down through generations. This building method is typical of Orthodox wooden churches in the region and reflects a special connection to local forest traditions.
