The Church of Saints Peter and Paul the Apostles in Tyrawa Solna

The Orthodox Church of St. John the Baptist is a former Greek Catholic church (currently the Roman Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul the Apostles) located in Tyrawa Solna. The temple was funded by the Tyrawa Priest Mejnicki and built in 1837 by the carpenters: Vasyl Bułkstrimił, Gabriel Mlachowski and Andrzej Duda. This information was engraved on the entrance portal to the narthex. The Orthodox church presents a type of Classicist folk architecture with plain features of Latinisation, which means, capturing forms or shapes from a Latin church. The church is oriented (eastward), wooden, with a timber framing structure, set on a stone foundation. It is a tripartite church, which individual parts of the building were designed on the square projections. The highest element of the building is a two-storey tower. All walls were boarded vertically with strips, roofs as well as towers and helmets are covered with sheet metal. In the interior is rich equipment which survived from the time of building of the church. One can see here the three-zone architectural iconostasis and altars: behind the iconostasis, two side ones and also on the eastern wall.

The church is included in the Wooden Architecture Trail.
