Churches and monasteries in Żarki: the Leśniów sanctuary, the church of Saints Simon and Jude, the church ruins on Laskowiec and St Barbara's church.
Four sacred places in the Jura area. From a Pauline monastery to a small hospital church, for readers who like architecture.
The most important is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Leśniów in Leśniów, part of Żarki: a Pauline monastery whose church houses a venerated figure of the Virgin Mary. In Żarki itself stands the Church of Saints Simon and Jude Thaddeus from 1518-1522, rebuilt after a fire, with altars in the late Baroque style and a tower topped by a Baroque helm.
In Żarki there is also the small St Barbara's Church on Częstochowska Street: a former hospital church, probably from the late 1600s, with a roof of wooden shingles, a Classicist main altar and Baroque side altars. On Laskowiec hill stand the ruins of St Stanislaus' Church raised in the later 1700s, built of broken limestone, with a view of the Jurassic cuesta and the Warta ice-marginal valley. They are the remains of a building, not a working church. Nature around the town is covered by the article on the reserves of the northern Jura. Everything else in town sits under Żarki, and sacred buildings elsewhere under churches and monasteries in Silesia.
In Leśniów, part of Żarki, at Leśniowska 99. The sanctuary of Our Lady of Leśniów operates by the monastery.
Yes, the ruins on Laskowiec hill are entered in the register of monuments.
