Church of Mary Magdalene in Rabka

The Mary Magdalene Church features log architecture with a polygonal presbytery, rectangular nave, and a square tower topped by an onion-shaped cupola.

The church was constructed between 1600 and 1606 to replace an earlier structure from 1565, with Bishop Tomasz Oborski consecrating it in 1634.

Inside the church, visitors can see a collection of religious art, including a 16th-century painting of the Mother of God with Child in the north altar.

The building now functions as the Władysław Orkan Museum, displaying over 5000 artifacts including regional crafts, tools, and traditional clothing.

Human teeth were inserted between frame beams in the west nave wall, reflecting historical practices requesting protection from Saint Apollonia against toothaches.
