Gorajec

| The former Uniat church under the
invocation of the Birth of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary (a Roman
Catoholic church since 1947) which was erected in 1586. It initially
consisted in a single- cupola fame and presumably also an
inconsiderably- sized belfry above the „babiniec” (the church
vestibule where women beggars used to sit and beg). In 1816 a new
sanctuary was erected, followed by a new „babiniec” in 1835. The
temple was significantly restructured before 1903 (the nave was
extended to include the two wings alongside). A general renovation of
the entire structure was carried through in the years 1992- 2001
(including reconstruction of the nave walls). Inside the early
iconostas wall with polychromy deserves careful attention. The
present belfry dating back to 1860 was moved from Majdan Królewski
1994.
