CHAPEL ON THE WATER

A pretty little wooden chapel from 1901 stands above the Pradnik River. In the time of Tsar Nicholas II, the inhabitants of Ojców, not being allowed to build religious buildings on land, circumvented this ban by installing the chapel on the water. This great gesture that mixes rebellion and faith is a story that Poles like to tell themselves, but in reality, the construction was of little consequence in this remote region. The result is still delightful and makes for great photo memories!
