St. Stanislaus the Bishop Church in Oderne

The Church of St. Stanislaus the Bishop in Odemna is a Roman Catholic wooden temple built in 1898, founded by Countess Magdalena Miłkowska as a votive offering of thanksgiving. It served as an auxiliary church for the parish in Ropa, dedicated particularly to the Polish population settled in the area in the 19th century, who were associated with the local glassworks. In 1943, a sacristy and a porch were added, and in 2002 the church was expanded by extending the nave and adding a small belfry spire and a western porch. Today, it is a filial church of the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Uście Gorlickie. In 1995, the church was entered into the register of historical monuments, underscoring its cultural significance. Architecturally, the church is made of larch wood in a log structure, with a single-nave layout and a non-separated, three-sided closed presbytery. An octagonal turret in the center of the porch serves as an ornament, and the shingle-covered roof gives it a distinctive appearance. The interior of the church is adorned with a Baroque main altar from the 18th century and two contemporary side altars. Next to the church stands a modern metal bell tower with a bell from 1927, as well as a cemetery, reflecting its long history and ongoing role as a place of worship. The church is not only a religious site but also an important element of the local cultural heritage.
