What to do and see in Zakopane, Southern Poland: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Just a few miles from the Slovak border in south central Poland, Zakopane is a resort town in the Tatra Mountains, popular with skiers in winter and with hikers and climbers year-round. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Zakopane grew into Poland’s most visible art colony, a hotbed of culture ended by Soviet influence after World War II. Today it harkens back to an earlier time, complete with gorgeous wooden houses. Learn about these buildings and more at the Museum of Zakopane Style.

What a holy place! Such amazing carved woodwork throughout the church and chapel. Built in 1992 with hand carved woodwork unlike any we have ever seen. Make sure you tour the chapel as well as the main church. We attended Mass in the Chapel which was a beautiful experience.

Coming down from our hotel in Cyrhla going to Zakopane center, we saw this cute wooden church by the side slope. We halted and made an instant visit. It is an antique Catholic Church in a wooded area. It is nestled in a " romantic setting " with a " homely ambiance ". Upon approaching the place, there is a simple information board about it.The interior is small with a fine altar of Jesus. It evoked moment of contemplation and peace since we were alone when we visited it. It was worth the visit. It added photographic album to our travel. Give it a visit, 15 minutes is enough esp. if you love photography !
