St. Michael the Archangel Church in Krasice

The Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Krasice is a wooden Greek Catholic filial church built in 1899. It belonged to the Greek Catholic parish in Korytniki. The church's architecture is characterized by a two-part structure with an internally separated women's section (babiniec). The chancel has a three-sided closure, while the nave is wider and adjoined by a vestibule on the western side. The single-ridge roof is covered with sheet metal, and above the nave rises a distinctive large dome (bania), whereas the chancel and the babiniec are topped with smaller dome-like finials. An interesting decorative feature is the board ornaments adorning the chancel walls below the roof. The church suffered significant damage in the 1950s when it was abandoned. Fortunately, in the 1990s, it underwent renovation, which allowed for a partial restoration of its former glory. Today, the church is surrounded by a wooden fence, and to the west, aligned with the church's axis, stands a masonry screen-type bell tower. The interior of the church and the iconostasis were partially looted due to earlier damage; some of the furnishings were moved to the museum in Łańcut. Despite these challenges, Greek Catholic Masses are occasionally held there, including celebrations of the patron saint's day, St. Michael. The church is an important historical and cultural landmark in the region, and its architecture and history attract not only local residents but also tourists and heritage enthusiasts.
