The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has added medieval wooden churches in the Slovak part of the Carpathian range onto its World Heritage List. The UNESCO Committee decided on this at its thirty-second meeting in Quebec, Canada, said Jana Vargova of the Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic. Eight churches were selected for the list: the Roman Catholic Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Hervartov (Bardejov district), the Roman-Catholic Church of All Saints in Tvrdosin, the Evangelical Articular Church in Kezmarok, the Evangelical Articular Church in Hronsek, the Evangelical Articular Church in Lestiny, the Greek Catholic Church of St. Nicolas in Bodruzala, the Greek Catholic Church of Archangel Michael in Ladomirova and the Greek Catholic Church of St. Nicolas the Bishop in Ruska Bystra. This group of eight wooden churches, built between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, thus became the eighth site on the UNESCO list in Slovakia. The churches are also unique because of their structural and architectural variations.
