| The wooden churches of Southern Poland are jewels, and their acknowledgment by UNESCO in 2003 was a richly deserved tribute. The designs of these churches - some of which date back to the fifteenth century - tended to follow a pattern, and it is quickly recognizable. They were built from larchwood without the use of nails (each plank being carefully fitted with pegs), and the body rises into a steeply pitched, shingled roof with a single bell-tower. |
