Chlastawa. The Route of Wooden Churches of the Bagpipe Region, Poland

The readers of the "National Geographic Traveler" magazine in the sixth edition of the "The seven new wonders of Poland" have picked "The Route of Wooden Churches of the Bagpipe Region" in the Lubuskie Voivodship. The Route is some 23 kilometers long and leads to the temples in Chlastawa, Klępsk and Kosieczyn. The most beautiful church is located in Chlastawa nearby Zbąszyń. 
The Filial Church of the Birth of the Holy Virgin Mary in Chlastawa was erected in 1637 for Protestants persecuted in Silesia. The church was built in frame construction with wooden tower. The interior of the church in a unique form presents an open roof truss structure. 
It is covered with rich polychrome from 17th century It presents the scenes of the Last Judgment and foliage motifs.
The church in Chlastawa is a historical monument of outstanding universal value which should be particularly interesting for folk architecture lovers. Together with the gate-belfry and the former cemetery it forms a beautiful sacral complex of exquisite historical features. It was profoundly renovated in the early 20th century, and a tower was rebuilt.

  2. What an ingenious building, with so many details. I love the ceiling, with each beam painted on! Like that the interior of this chapel has a living room-like look - beautiful! Greatly shown at night! It looks completely out of wood. Is it?

  14. These are beautiful. I'd never seen such beautiful wooden buildings before - the natural look of the wood makes these particular. Wood frame here tends to be painted a solid color. I like what you've shown us in these shots.
    Have a great day, and thanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/10/playing-with-photoshop.html

  15. I am happy the church (and the entire route) made it into the seven wonders of Poland. I hope that helps to preserve the place for future generations. And, of course, you know I am googling "seven wonders of Poland" to see what the other six wonders are.
