Wooden church

There are several wooden churches in Slovakia, 9 of which are included in the UNESCO world list. These wooden churches were originally built without the use of a single nail, but today there are already nails added to preserve the sights. This wooden church in the Ľubovňa open-air museum is also one of the most important in Slovakia, and inside you will also find a golden iconostasis.
