You choose unesco WHS tag - Poland

And this one is a card from Poland , send by Bodexs, who has send me some nice UNESCO cards before. It shows one of the Wooden Churches of Southern Little Poland.



The wooden churches of southern Little Poland represent outstanding examples of the different aspects of medieval church-building traditions in Roman Catholic culture. Built using the horizontal log technique, common in eastern and northern Europe since the Middle Ages, these churches were sponsored by noble families and became status symbols. They offered an alternative to the stone structures erected in urban centres.

You choose unesco WHS tag - Finland

I bought some UNESCO cards so I decided to tag again in the different unesco tags. I tagged Bessie from Finland . She send me this nice card which shows the Petäjävesi Old Church.



Petäjävesi Old Church, in central Finland, was built of logs between 1763 and 1765. This Lutheran country church is a typical example of an architectural tradition that is unique to eastern Scandinavia. It combines the Renaissance conception of a centrally planned church with older forms deriving from Gothic groin vaults.
