Chapel of the Nativity of Jesus in Myszków

The Chapel of the Nativity of Jesus in Myszków-Mijaczów, on Kazimierza Pułaskiego Street, is a former palace chapel from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is entered in the heritage register and belongs to the parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

From palace to parish

The chapel already existed in 1790 as a room in the palace of Joachim Borowski. The palace was pulled down in the mid-19th century and only the chapel and cellars remained of the whole complex. In 1907 the owner of the estate allowed residents to use it, and from 1911 it served as the parish church of Myszków. A major renovation in 1973 produced additional chapels in the cellars.

The building

It is a brick building on a rectangular plan with a small annexe on the west side. Inside there is a barrel vault with lunettes. The building was entered in the heritage register in 1972.
