Ojców Chapel, Wooden chapel in Ojców, Poland.

The chapel stands on concrete foundations spanning both banks of the Prądnik stream, featuring a symmetrical rectangular plan measuring 11 meters long and 5 meters wide.

Built in 1901 on the site of former Goplana spa baths, the chapel emerged during Russian rule when Tsar Nicholas II prohibited construction of religious buildings on local soil.

The interior contains three altars shaped like peasant cottage gables, with the main altar displaying a painting of Our Lady of Help created by a spa patient.

Religious services occur on Sundays at 8:00, 10:00, and 18:00, with adjusted winter schedules from October through March to accommodate shorter daylight hours.

The structure combines Swiss-Ojców architectural elements with an openwork bell tower, while incorporating patriotic symbols such as eagles representing Poland above three snakes symbolizing occupying powers.
