Sanctuary in Żarki, Gothic church in Żarki, Poland
The sanctuary features a single nave with a narrower semicircular presbytery, constructed with red brick in Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.
The church dates back to 1559 when Jan Koryciński, the castellan of Oświęcim, built it to house a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary.
The main altar displays a 70-centimeter lime wood figure of the Virgin Mary, recognized as one of the finest Marian sculptures in Poland.
The religious complex includes a church, monastery, bell tower, pilgrim house, and field altar, with regular services held throughout the week.
The sanctuary contains a natural spring that, according to legend, appeared in 1382 when Prince Władysław of Opole stopped there during his journey.
