St. Dymitr's Church in Piatkowa (Poland)

Greek Catholic Church, named after St. Dymitr, was built in the village of Piatkowa, located in the Przemyśl district of Podgorze, near Dubiecko. This is one of the most beautiful preserved wooden churches in Low Carpathia. It consists of three parts: babiniec, nave and presbytery, built of wood on a stone foundation. The walls and roof are covered with shingles, all three parts are completed by octagonal domes. The church is surrounded by a roof on three sides, designed to protect the faithful, who have come from more distant areas, from the rain. Despite the fact, that the date 1732 is carved above the entrance, research shows, that the church was built much earlier. Renovated in 1881. After the Second World War, when the Ukrainians left these areas, the church was abandoned and decayed. It was restored in 1958-61, but the interior was not furnished. It now belongs to the Sanok’s Folk Building Museum and is included in the route of the Wooden Architecture Road.

The model represents the current appearance of the church, it is not complicated. But the complex construction of domes and small elements will require all your abilities, patience and diligence. Modelers with little experience are recommended to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague.
