Assumption of Holy Mary Church in Haczów, a Gothic, wooden church located in the village of Haczów from the fifteenth-century, which together with different churches is designated as part of the UNESCO Wooden Churches of Southern Małopolska. The churches represent a unique example of the tradition of medieval timber-built churches in Roman Catholic culture. They were built using the horizontal log technique, which was commonplace in Northern and Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages. The churches constitute an example of dominant landmarks within rural settings, which determine their unique present-day landscape qualities, most of them are situated in picturesque mountain valleys. The church in Haczów is the largest wooden Gothic church in Europe, and simultaneously one of the oldest wooden framework churches in Poland.
