About this building

The church was design by Jan Tarczałowicz, an architect specialising in the Zakopane style characteristic of Poland's highland regions. It was built between 1910 and 1912. Another Zakopane artist, Michał Gąsienica-Szostak, was in charge of the interior decoration of the church. The neo-Gothic high altar from 1937 is particularly noteworthy.

Chapel of Jaszczurówka

The chapel of Jaszczurówka began to be built in 1904 and was consecrated in 1907. The chapel is a typical example of the Zakopane style. Between 1963 and 1975, the building had several repairs. But as the chapel deteriorated more and more, a major renovation was carried out from 1977 until 1981. The official owner of the object is the National Park of the Tatras, on whose territory there is the Chapel.
