THE CHAPEL ON CZARNIECKI STREET

On the corner of Czarnecki street and Jan Paweł the second street a small chapel was built in eighteen eighty nine/1889. Father Telefsor Podbielski claims that the locals from Dluga street collected the money to build this chapel after the original church was burned down in seventeen oh nine/1709 by the Swedish army. Some information about this building can be found in acts from eighteen ninety eight/1898, nineteen nineteen/1919 and nineteen twenty seven/1927, which were left after the diocesan visitations, or in notes made by the rector Jozef Kulesza. The chapel has a rectangular shape and was made of bricks covered with plaster, the roof is made of wood. Recently, thanks to the inhabitants of Wizna the chapel has been restored.

On the altar there is an image of the Mother Mary with Baby Jesus painted in the seventeenth/ XVII century. In the tentieth century the painting was carefully restored. The locals believe it to be a relic. This chapel is part of the patrimony of Wizna. In two thousand and eitht/2008 near the chapel a sculpture of the pope John Paul the 2nd was placed as a gift from the Borawski family . The chapel and its surroundings are well taken care of.
