The chapel of St. Jan Nepomucen

Kapliczka św. Jana NepomucenaThe precious monument in the city is a wooden chapel with a folk statue of St. Jan Nepomucen, placed in 1806. The pillar chapel made of the trunk of an oak covered with boards, topped with a chapel, included volute run-off, with the plaque with an inscription and dates.  Four-sloped roof, covered with steel sheet, topped with a ball and a cross – inside there is the folk statue of St. Jan Nepomucen from the beginning of the nineteenth century. The chapel is located at Siedlecka Street, at the bridge on the Cetynia River.  It was built by the inhabitants of the street. Similar chapels are rarely seen.

This one is preserved in very good condition; the renovations funded by the residents of the city were made in 1841, 1902, 1961, and 1992. These dates were placed on the plaque, which hold the year of establishment of the facility as well.
