Wooden Churches and Folk Architecture of Central & Eastern Europe

This blog is dedicated to the wooden churches and other forms of traditional folk architecture found throughout Central & Eastern Europe, particularly the Carpathian Mountains region in Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic. My eventual goal is to visit and photograph all of these churches, and I will post the photos and a description of each of them here.

About Me

Goulash Train
This blog is based on my personal travel experiences while living and working in Slovakia, Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic for ten years. I have a particular interest in the folk culture and wooden architecture of the Carpathian mountains. Eastern Slovakia and Ukraine's Zakarpattya region are my favourite places to explore - I'm familiar with these regions on a village by village level.
