St. Leonard's Church, Lipnica Murowana

The church features wooden shingles on the roof, with windows only on the southern side and entrance doors positioned to the south and west.

The church stands on the site of a former pagan shrine, with a pillar from the ancient temple now supporting the altar of Saint Leonard.

The interior walls display polychrome decorations from multiple periods, including scenes of the Crucifixion, Last Supper, and Ten Commandments dating from 1490 to 1710.

Visitors need to make arrangements in advance to see the interior of the church, which continues to function as a cemetery chapel.

The church hosts an annual Easter palm competition where participants create palm branches reaching heights of 30 meters.
