St. Michael Archangel's Church, Binarowa

The church features fir wood construction with a tall western tower, steep roofs, and exterior walls protected by wide overhanging eaves.

Built around 1500, the church received its tower in 1596 and underwent significant expansions between 1641 and 1650 with the addition of the Guardian Angels chapel.

The interior walls display extensive 16th-century polychrome decorations depicting biblical scenes and patterns that reflect the Counter-Reformation artistic program.

Visitors can access the church during scheduled hours and explore the medieval architecture, Gothic sculptures, and 81-pipe organ from the 19th century.

The church contains a rare Gothic sculpture of Madonna with Child from 1380 and medieval doors decorated with intricate floral patterns.
