The wooden church in Liskowate is one of only three surviving Boyko-type churches in Poland, a remarkable structure standing on a site where an earlier church was already recorded in 1564. The present building most likely dates from 1832, though some historians believe its construction technique points to a much older origin, possibly the 17th century.
This is a place for travelers drawn to the layered, multicultural history of the Bieszczady borderlands rather than just mountain views. The church sits in a quiet, slightly melancholic landscape, with a nearby old cemetery still holding a few surviving gravestones, and the entrance to the grounds passes through a distinctive 19th-century masonry bell-gate. In autumn, when mist settles over the hills, the atmosphere here feels especially haunting - a forgotten corner of the Bieszczady borderland where time seems to slow down.
How to get thereInteresting fact: above the babinets there once stood a separate chapel dedicated to St. Demetrius, surrounded by a gallery - an extremely rare arrangement in church architecture, of which only a few protruding beams remain today.
