Three small wooden churches in the Beskid Niski could tell you more about the Lemko people than a library. Brunary Wyzne is a village in the Low Beskids of southern Poland, not far from the Slovak border, and its church of St Michael the Archangel, built at the end of the eighteenth century, stands at the edge of the settlement with a shingled tower and the typical three-part structure of the Lemko tradition. Inside, the painted iconostasis separates the nave from the sanctuary, as in all Eastern Christian churches, and the walls are dark with age. The church is part of the group of wooden churches of the Carpathian region on the World Heritage list, inscribed in 2013.

In the village of Ladomirová, just north of Svidník in north-eastern Slovakia, a small wooden church dedicated to the Archangel Michael stands on a gentle rise among trees. Built in the eighteenth century by the Greek Catholic community without using a single nail, it has three wooden towers with onion-shaped tops, rising in height from east to west, and its interior holds an iconostasis of painted icons. It is one of the eight wooden churches of the Slovak Carpathians inscribed together by UNESCO in 2008, and its simplicity and craftsmanship are deeply moving.

Haczów, a village in the foothills of the Carpathians in southeastern Poland, has a church that is considered the largest Gothic wooden church in Europe, and one of the oldest. Built in the fifteenth century, probably on the site of an earlier church, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Michael the Archangel is a massive structure of larch logs, with a steep shingled roof and a bell tower, standing among old trees. Inside, the walls are covered with polychrome paintings, the oldest from the late fifteenth century, showing saints, biblical scenes and decorative patterns, and the atmosphere is dim, warm and fragrant with old wood. In 2003 the church was listed by UNESCO among the Wooden Churches of Southern Małopolska, along with five others in the region. It is still used for worship, so check visiting times and dress respectfully.
