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.
