Saint James church in Szczyrk

The Saint James church stands at 493 meters elevation, with its traditional wooden architecture reflecting construction methods from the Silesian region.

The construction of this religious building began in 1797 and reached completion in 1800, following an imperial decree that authorized local worship.

The interior contains religious artifacts from the disbanded Norbertines church, including baroque candlesticks from 1775 and a bell dating to 1691.

Located at Kolorowa Street 1, the church serves as an active parish within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bielsko-Żywiec.

The church features a distinctive stole crafted from a noble waist belt and contains stone baptismal fonts from 1800 near its baroque pulpit.
