Greek Catholic Church in Krempna

The St Cosma and Damian Greek Catholic Parish Church in Krempna is a textbook example of religious buildings erected in the western part of the Lemkovyna region. According to the surviving foundation plaque, the church was built in 1782, with the tower most likely being a remnant of an earlier temple (from 1507). The building underwent restoration works in 1830, 1893 and 1936. In the first half of the 19th century, the iconostasis was added, featuring icons painted by a painter known as Krasucki of Przemyśl in years 1835-1836. After 1964, the church stood abandoned for a number of years. Since 1971, he served as the Catholic Church of Sts. Maksymilian Kolbe. Subsequent renovation works were carried out in 1971 and 2007-2013 . The church performed the function of the parish church until a new temple was built in 2004. The Low Beskid - June 21,2017.
