Tucked into a wooded hillside above ±Ê´Ç»å²µÃ³°ù³ú±ð, this mysterious little church is one of the oldest in °°ù²¹°ìó·É. Historians are not certain of its origin, though archaeologists estimate that it was built in the 12th century. The interior has been restored, but the church is open only once a year on the first Tuesday after Easter, when the spring festival of RÄ™kawka is celebrated.
