1053 PL - Wooden Churches of Southern Małopolska (2003)

Brief Description

"The wooden churches of southern Little Poland represent outstanding examples of the different aspects of medieval church-building traditions in Roman Catholic culture. Built using the horizontal log technique, common in eastern and northern Europe since the Middle Ages, these churches were sponsored by noble families and became status symbols. They offered an alternative to the stone structures erected in urban centres."

南部小波兰木制教堂
"南部小波兰木质教堂反映了中世纪教堂建筑的不同侧面，是罗马天主教传统文化的典型代表。建筑手法采用水平伐木技术，这种技术自中世纪时就在北欧和东欧盛行。这类教堂由贵族家庭赞助修建，后来成为地位的象征。对于石质结构来说，这种木制建筑物构成了市中心的另一建筑特征。"
