Church of the Assumption in Tarnów, Gothic wooden church in Tarnów, Poland

The Church of the Assumption features a massive tower with a neo-baroque onion dome and an overhanging bell chamber within its wooden structure.

Built in 1458 by six peasants from the Major Suburb, the church used timber from an earlier parish church that stood at the cathedral site.

The interior displays figural polychromes and contains a miraculous 16th-century painting of Our Lady with Child in the Rococo main altar.

Located near the Wątok stream in the parish of Our Lady of the Scapular, the church maintains its original Gothic entrances and components.

The church structure was moved six meters away from the Wątok stream banks in the 19th century to protect it from water damage.
