Jaszczurówka Chapel
Kaplica Najświętszego Serca Jezusa w Jaszczurówce
A small wooden chapel in the Zakopane style, designed by Witkiewicz and hidden among the trees. It is considered one of the most refined works of the style.
The chapel was built in 1904–1907 at the edge of a pine forest in Jaszczurówka, on Zakopane's eastern outskirts. It has a steep roof and intricate woodcarving, and its interior altar and stained glass are also in the Zakopane style.
The chapel is tiny and takes only 10–20 minutes to see. It is often a convenient stop on the way to Kuźnice or Morskie Oko. It is about 4 km from the town center, and you can take a minibus heading toward Morskie Oko and get off nearby.
