Religious Sites & Historic Churches

The Pieniny region preserves a diverse collection of religious architecture, ranging from medieval Gothic-Baroque foundations in Krościenko nad Dunajcem to the distinctive stone Lemko temples of Szlachtowa and Jaworki. This selection features historic parish churches, 19th-century hillside chapels, and significant burial grounds like the Old Cemetery in Szczawnica. These sites reflect the cultural intersection of Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic traditions within the Dunajec River valley and the surrounding mountain landscape.
