Church of St. Michael Archangel in Szalowa

The three-nave basilica structure features a central nave flanked by two lower side naves, leading to a chancel with the main altar.

The parish was established in 1375, with the current wooden church constructed between 1739 and 1756 under the initiative of Krzysztof Jordan and priest Wojciech Stefanowski.

The interior decoration combines Baroque and Rococo styles, with more than 150 angel figures adorning spaces finished in white, blue, and gold colors.

The church maintains its religious function as a Catholic parish temple, with the original shingle roofing replaced by tin during renovations in 1911.

The wooden structure successfully replicates Baroque brick architecture techniques, featuring oblique columns between naves and curved shapes in the rainbow beam and arches.
