Wooden Churches in Slovakia

Publícation date: 13. October 2016 · Category: Architektur im Ringturm

Built in the vast forests of the Carpathians between the 15th and 20th centuries, the 60 wooden churches still standing today in Slovakia form a valuable cultural legacy. Eight of them have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Embedded in a multi-confessional and multi-ethnic region, two European cultures with distinctive religious traditions – Western (Latin) and Eastern (Byzantine) – have had a mutually beneficial influence on one another. The outcome is outstanding constructions with a significance that extends far beyond the region itself.
