Transfiguration chapel in Krynica-Zdrój, Wooden chapel in Krynica-Zdrój, Poland

The Transfiguration Chapel stands in the Dietlówka park in Krynica-Zdrój, not on Góra Parkowa. Built in 1863–1864 to a design by Feliks Księżarski, it has a log-frame structure with vertically boarded walls and a shingled dome with a lantern over an octagonal nave on a Greek cross plan. Four annexes serve as presbytery, side chapel and two entrance porches, one topped by a turret.

Built in 1863, the chapel emerged during a period when Krynica-Zdrój expanded as a health resort and new religious buildings appeared throughout the town. This era shaped how the settlement developed and what visitors see today.

The chapel reflects the spiritual life of the local community through its traditional altars and regional religious artwork displayed inside. Visitors can observe how local people use the space for prayer and worship, blending personal devotion with the building's humble character.

The chapel is reached by marked paths on Góra Parkowa and sits near other historical spots in the town. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground can be uneven and the surroundings are partly wooded.

The chapel's plan is an octagon joined to a Greek cross, and its log construction is clad in vertical boarding with battens. Beside it stands a wooden cross from 1910 marking the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald, a detail many visitors walk past.
