Churches and monasteries
a church from 1991-1995 in Salmopol, where Evangelicals from Wisła settled in 1803
Churches in Szczyrk: the wooden Church of St James, the Evangelical church in Salmopol and the Marian shrine on Górka by the trail to Klimczok.
Three very different buildings: a monument from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, a modern Lutheran church of the 1990s and a pilgrimage spot in the woods. They pair well with a stroll through the mountain resort.
St James's Church at Kolorowa 1 dates from 1797-1800 and wears a shingle roof. It became a diocesan shrine in 2011 and belongs to the Wooden Architecture Route. Late Baroque furnishings from a former convent in Nowy Sącz fill the interior.
The Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Poland stands on Górka, at 670 metres, beside the trail to Klimczok. The cult dates from 1894, and next to the Chapel of the Apparition there is a grotto with a spring believed to have healing power.
The Evangelical church in Salmopol was raised in 1991-1995 to a design by Karol Gaś. The Lutheran community is much older: the first families arrived from Wisła in 1803.
The Evangelical-Augsburg parish in Biała.
