St. Michael Archangel's Church in Dębno

The church features traditional log construction techniques with vertical wooden planks and decorative elements throughout its architectural design.

Built in 1490, this medieval structure represents a prime example of Gothic religious architecture from the late fifteenth century in Lesser Poland.

The interior walls display polychrome paintings containing 33 distinct colors arranged in geometric and floral patterns across 77 different themes.

Guided tours require groups of minimum 10 participants, and visitors can access the church through the Wooden Architecture Trail of Lesser Poland.

The church holds the distinction of being the only building in the Podhale region included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
