Fire destroys St Nicolas' Church at Poland's Sanok folk museum

St Nicolas' Church was completely destroyed by a fire at the Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok, in Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland. The report says the destruction was complete. The building stood at an open-air museum of folk architecture. The place is Sanok.

Complete destruction means the church is not described as partly damaged. The note does not give a cause of the fire. It does not say whether anyone was hurt. The cultural loss is the building itself.

An open-air museum of folk architecture preserves historic structures that have been relocated or maintained as exhibits. A church on such a site is both a religious building and a museum object. The report identifies it by name and by the museum. It does not give a construction year.

Podkarpackie is the Polish region named. No other building at the museum is listed as lost in the same note. The fire report is specific to St Nicolas' Church. No insurance figure is attached.

No arrest is mentioned. No weather cause is stated. The item is a cultural disaster report rather than a completed investigation. What is confirmed is the total loss of the church at that museum.

Visitors are not given a reopening date, because the building is described as destroyed. No replacement plan is announced. The confirmed culture news is that St Nicolas' Church at the Sanok Museum of Folk Architecture burned and was completely destroyed.
