Description
 
Color photographs by Tadeusz Budzinski

In the Podkarpacie, as in no other place, the fusion of Western and Eastern cultures has left its mark in the unparalleled number of wooden Orthodox and Catholic churches erected throughout a period of over 500 years.

In the remaining wooden temples of the Podkarpacie we can trace in the unique atmosphere of the multicultural and multiethnic reality of the Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) of the historical Polish Republic, an area of religious and cultural tolerance. We begin our tour of 75 places in Haczow, one of the oldest and largest carcass constructed temples and we finish at the Bieszczady wooden Orthodox churches created shortly before World War II. The Borderline of cultures is a Europe-wide phenomenon in which neighboring cultures would intermingle and complement each other over centuries and as a result they have created a separate entity.
