Polish design

Poland was not asleep during the long decades of Nazi and communist oppression, as you know. They held to their values and resisted their overlords. I just learned that they built hundreds of churches in defiance of government atheism.

In fact, "in the wake of World War II and under Soviet control, Poland built more churches than any other country in Europe . . a calculated affront to the proletariat-minded Modernism of the Soviets."

Go here for pictures of these very creative, different-looking churches.
