Landmarks
The wooden Church of St Andrew in Graboszyce is a small 1585 church on the Lesser Poland Wooden Architecture Trail. Its distinctive features include log construction, a tall tower with later additions and a two-storey sacristy along the northern wall of the chancel.
The building replaced an older church. The nave and chancel use log construction, while the western bell-house tower was added in 1617; in the 18th century it gained another storey and a bulbous cupola. Shingled roofs and the intimate rural scale create a characteristic Beskid landscape.
The Baroque furnishings include a crucifix on the rood beam, a high altar with paintings of the Madonna and Child and St Andrew, and 16th-century wings of a winged altarpiece showing Ecce Homo and Our Lady of Sorrows. The two-storey sacristy is another detail worth seeking out.
Graboszyce 15 lies between Wadowice and Zator, not far from Oświęcim. The church remains an active parish building; confirm interior access before travelling and avoid services. Allow 20–30 minutes for the church and its surroundings. Combine it with a route through the Skawa valley and other wooden churches in Lesser Poland.
