The wooden Church of Saint Valentine in Bieruń Stary is affectionately called “Walencink” by local people. Walencik means little Valentine in Polish. We do not know the exact date of its foundation. The first written mention of the building dates back to 1628 and comes from a report of the visit paid by Johann Hoffman, who was the last Protestant dean of Pszczyna. Therefore, the church is supposed to have been founded at the end of the sixteenth century or at the beginning of the next century. The wooden Church of Saint Valentine is situated on the Wooden Architecture Route of the Silesia province.
