Kościół z Zakrzowa – translokowany na Harendę przykład sakralnej drewnianej architektury dawnego dekanatu zatorskiego
The church from Zakrzów – an example of sacral wooden architecture of the former Zator deanery, translocated to Harenda

Summary/Abstract: The Church of St. Anne was built between 1708 and 1719 as a single-nave, with a narrower and lower presbytery, which was closed on three sides. At present, it is a testimony to the Beskid wooden sacral architecture, despite its current location in Podhale. The temple was erected using the wood of the larch tree, ubiquitous in the forests of Zakrzów and Stryszów, in a log construc tion, with the entire building being embedded on a stone foundation. The idea for this article stems both from the growing interest in wooden construction in the Beskids, e.g. as a result of the establishment of the Beskidzkie Muzeum Rozproszone, as well as the conservation works undertaken at the church in question. The article aims to broaden the knowledge about the past of the former temple from Zakrzów. In respective paragraphs, the history of the wooden Church of St. Anne, its architecture and furnishings, as well as the social context of the church – which, during the efforts to obtain a separate parish, was considered an “ancient parish church,” and after the construction of a new one, stood empty and dilapidated.
