Abstract
The species of wood in constructions of six historic churches in Mazovia region. The paper is a continuation of the research of timber species in temples of Mazovia area. Wood samples have been taken from 3 parish churches and 3 cemetery chapels: 1 object of the seventeenth century (Zakrzewo Kościelne), 3 objects from the eighteenth century (Rębertów, Lutkówka and Zambrów) and 2 buildings from the nineteenth century (Białynin and Brańszczyk). All objects were built of pine. In the churches in Zakrzew and Rębertów, were found connecting elements of oak. In other objects lack was access to connecting elements, so not sampled. In the chapel in Białynin is a gothic portal with oak, moved from defunct church in this village. In the chapel in Brańszczyk the painting "Adoration of the 3 Kings"was found on the top backside of the altar, from defunct church in the village. Chapel in Zambrów is known for wall paintings: “dance of death” and illusionist altar. On the roof construction in the church in Rębertów were found little birch wood dowels, as in the church in Boczki. The dowels were fitted probably for drying herbs. Transportation of timber in rafts was limited to objects located very close to the large rivers (Zakrzewo Kościelne).
