Dębno Podhalańskie, Nowy Targ, Lesser Poland, Poland: view from south of tower at western end of Gothic wooden church of St Michael the Archangel, built in the late 1400s of larch logs and fir timbers secured by wooden dowels and without the use of nails. The church’s steep roof and outside walls are shingled. The tower, topped by a pyramidal cupola and with an overhanging storey creating a bell chamber, typical of the region, was added in 1601. The church was awarded World Heritage site status in 2003 as one of the UNESCO Wooden Churches of Southern Lesser Poland.
