Dębno Podhalańskie, Nowy Targ, Lesser Poland, Poland: porch on south side of Gothic wooden church of St Michael the Archangel with effigy of Christ in a gable niche. The church was built in the late 1400s of larch logs and fir timbers secured by wooden dowels and without the use of nails. The steep roof and outside walls are shingled. The tower, added in 1601, has an overhanging storey creating a bell chamber which is typical of the region and is visible at the top of this image. The church was awarded World Heritage site status in 2003 as one of the UNESCO Wooden Churches of Southern Lesser Poland.
