Czerteż

The wooden Greek Catholic church in Czerteż is dated to 1742, although its history may be even older. The building is covered with traditional wooden shingles, emphasizing its historic character and its connection with the traditional religious architecture of the region.

In front of the church stands a two-storey bell tower built in 1887. It forms an integral part of the historic complex and, together with the wooden church, creates the distinctive historic landscape of the site.

The church in Czerteż is considered one of the most valuable and beautiful religious buildings along the entire route, with significance extending well beyond the local area. Its greatest treasures include exceptionally valuable figurative wall paintings preserved on the walls of the nave.

Among the figures depicted are Princess Olga and St Vladimir the Great. These paintings give the interior a unique character while providing valuable evidence of the religious and artistic traditions associated with the history of the church.
