Saint John of Nepomuk church in Zwierzyniec, Baroque church on an island in Zwierzyniec, Poland

The brick Saint John of Nepomuk church features two side chapels, an oak main altar, and a triangular pediment displaying the founders' coats of arms.

Built between 1741 and 1747 by Tomasz Zamoyski and Teresa Michowska, the church served as the Zamoyski family chapel within their palace complex.

The interior contains paintings by Polish artist Łukasz Smuglewicz, including the Coronation of Our Lady in the Chapel of Our Lady.

A reinforced concrete bridge, restored to its historical appearance in 2014, provides access to the church from the mainland.

Every May, during the feast of Saint John of Nepomuk, a boat procession circles the church, commemorating the saint's martyrdom in the Vltava River.
