Items related to In the Borderland of Cultures: Wooden Sacral Architecture...
We are presenting our reader with this album, which is a result of the author's fascination with the culture of the borderlands. In the Podkarpacie, as in no other place, the fusion of Western and Eastern cultures has left its mark in the unparalleled number of wooden Orthodox and Catholic churches erected throughout a period of over 500 years. In the remaining wooden temples of the Podkarpacie we can trace the unique atmosphere of the multicultural and multi-ethnic reality of the Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) of the historical Polish Republic, an area of religious and cultural tolerance. We begin our tour of 75 places in Haczow, one of the oldest and largest carcass constructed temples and we finish at the Bieszczady wooden Orthodox churches created shortly before World War II. The 'borderline of cultures' is a Europe-wide phenomenon in which neighbouring cultures would intermingle and complement each other over centuries and, as a result, they have created a separate entity.
