St John the Apostle and Evangelist Church, Zakopane
The St John the Apostle and Evangelist Church is an 18th-century place of worship built in the typical style of the churches in the Małopolska province in southern Poland. It was originally built in 1719 in Zakrzów but, after falling into disuse, it was moved to its present location in Zakopane.
About this building
When the church was installed in Zakopane, three new wooden Baroque altars were created to replace those that had been destroyed in Zakrzów. The interior is decorated with late-baroque polychrome representing, among others, the figures of St Anne and St John the Baptist. The church also houses a collection of sacred art from the highlands, which includes shrines and paintings on glass, wooden figures of the Apostles, votive offerings and an image of Christ the King.
