Wooden Churches of the Slovak part of the Carpathian Mountain Area
The Slovak part of the Carpathian wooden churches inscribed on the World Heritage List includes two Roman Catholic, three Protestant and three Greek Orthodox churches, built between the 16th and 18th centuries. The site is a good example of the rich local religious architectural tradition, a cross between Latin and Byzantine cultures. Due to their respective religious practices, the buildings present some typological differences in plan, interior spaces and exteriors. They bear witness to the development of the main architectural and artistic trends of the period of construction, as well as their interpretation and adaptation to a specific geographical and cultural context. The interiors are decorated with paintings and other works of art on the walls and ceilings, enriching the cultural significance of the site.
