Church of St Mary Magdalene, Rabka Zdrój
The parish church of St Mary Magdalene was built in 1606 and is one of the typical wooden churches of the Małopolska province in southern Poland. The building, which is no longer used for worship, now houses the Władysław Orkan Regional Museum.
About this building
The present church replaced an earlier one from the 16th century that was likely destroyed by fire or floods. The interior preserves some remains of polychrome works from the decades after the construction of the church. However, most of its polychrome ornamentation dates from the 19th century.
The church ceased its religious activity in 1936 and since then it has housed Władysław Orkan Regional Museum.
