We would like to recommend you the wooden architecture sites in Poland. We believe that this is the very special element of our beautiful landscape. We would love to show you these amazing places!

There will be a series of articles on our blog about some of the best wooden architecture examples.

You can use it as a help to your Family and Friends Tour itinerary planning (write us which one you must see and we will arrange it). Today you can read the short introduction (http://blog.polishorigins.com/2013/07/01/wooden-treasures-of-southern-poland-introduction/)and see the map of places that will show on our blog very soon.

There is also an article about St. Paraskewa Orthodox church in Kwiatoń: http://blog.polishorigins.com/2013/07/01/st-paraskewa-orthodox-church-in-kwiaton/. I've started with this article, because the church in Kwiatoń, together with 7 other orthodox churches in southern Poland, were added to UNESCO heritage list, just a few days ago.
