Church in Jazwiny (Wincze)

Church of St. Spirit, built in 1750 by the landowner L. Orzeszko, about one and a half kilometers north of the village. The inhabitants of the surrounding villages call this place “Vinč/Vinci”. The shrine was built as a Uniate shrine. But in today’s materials walking around the internet it is called a church for some reason. The Marmon website also has metrics of the church in Vinci, and they are Greek Catholic for 1823.
