St. Michael the Archangel in Brunary - a former Greek Catholic church, now the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Brunary.

In 2013, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with other wooden churches in Poland and Ukraine. It is located on the trail of wooden architecture of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.

The first church in Brunary was built after 1616, when a Uniate parish was established in the village. The new temple was built in 1653, and the modern church - in the 18th century. In 1831 it was rebuilt and enlarged. The former presbytery was connected with the nave, adding a new one, closed on three sides, and the whole thing was covered with a new roof. After the Operation "Vistula", the church was taken over by the Latin Church. Currently, the church is used as the church of the Roman Catholic parish of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Assumption in Brunary, belonging to the Ropa deanery of the Tarnów diocese. The church in Brunary is a Lemko church with three parts. Above the vestibule there is a tower with a cupola topped with a forged cross. Similar helmets are located above the nave and presbytery. Inside, there is a baroque, eighteenth-century iconostasis. In the church, a polychrome has been preserved, covering the entire ceiling and internal walls of the building, made in stages between the 18th and 19th centuries, in a blue color scheme with a grapevine motif. Apart from the main altar from the 17th century, there are two side altars from the 18th century in the church. There are icons of the Mother of God and the Transfiguration of the Lord in them.
