Reconstruction of the church in Olszówka

An interactive walk through the burned church in Olszówka.

Step into the past with our interactive 3D simulation of the wooden Church of St. John the Baptist in Olszówka, a faithful digital reconstruction of a historic building lost to fire in 1993. This virtual experience lets players explore the recreated architecture and interior of the church, once a vital part of the local cultural and religious landscape. Walk through its wooden nave, admire reconstructed furnishings based on historical photos, and discover hidden details brought back to life through careful research.

The project is more than just a visual reconstruction—it’s a historical journey. Along the way, players can access contextual descriptions and archival photographs documenting the church’s history, from its original construction and later renovations to the tragic fire that destroyed it.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, educator, or simply curious about heritage preservation, this experience offers a unique and immersive perspective on the life and legacy of a lost landmark.

Highlights include:
1. Virtual reconstruction of the church as it stood before 1994
2. Interactive tour with descriptive text and archival images
3. Insight into the history of Olszówka and the church’s changing architecture
4. Documentation of surviving elements and post-fire remains
5. Designed for education, exploration, and historical preservation
