St. Roch's Church in Nowy Sącz

St. Roch's Church in Nowy Sącz, built between 1595 and 1608 by the Norbertines of Nowy Sącz, is an exceptional example of wooden sacral architecture. The temple features a log structure, is single-naved and clad with wooden siding, with its steep roof covered with sheet metal. Between 1924 and 1926, the church underwent partial reconstruction, resulting in the addition of a porch with an octagonal turret. The interior is characterized by a flat ceiling adorned with late Renaissance polychrome paintings from the early 17th century, reflecting the artistic significance of the building. The main altar, dating back to the early 17th century and significantly renovated in 1927, features a painting of St. Roch from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The church served as a parish until 1995, and its cultural importance in the region remains palpable. Located in the Dąbrówka district, on Dąbrówki Street, it is a Roman Catholic filial church of the parish under the same patronage. The architecture of the temple, combining traditional elements of wooden construction with later modifications, makes St. Roch's Church an interesting object not only for its history but also for its aesthetic and cultural values.
