UKRAINE

A nice UNESCO cover from Ukraine, depicting 2 stamps of a joint issue with Poland (from year 2015) on topic "Wooden Churches of the Carpathian region".
Situated in the eastern fringe of Central Europe, the transnational property numbers a selection of sixteen tserkvas (churches). They were built of horizontal wooden logs between the 16th and 19th centuries by communities of Orthodox and Greek Catholic faiths.
