One of the smallest churches in Poland is the church of St John the Baptist in Rzepiennik Biskupi in Małopolska. It is simply a late Gothic wooden temple from 1494 which has preserved its first arrangement since its inception. Built in a timber structure of fir and larchwood, it contains fragments of Gothic equipment and colorful polychromes. It stands on a hill surrounded by an old cemetery and a wooden fence.
