Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lewiczyn

The sanctuary is located in the monumental wooden church from the beginning of the 17th century dedicated to Saint Adalbert of Prague. Its most valuable and also the oldest treasure is the miraculous painting of the Mother of God.

The larch wood church has rich Baroque decor. The main altar comes from 1750. The image of Our Lady of Lewiczyn with baby Jesus decorated with the so-called silver dress from the 17th century can be admired in the center. It is similar to the painting of Our Lady of the Snows in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome.

The painting was brought to Lewiczyn and gifted to the church at the beginning of the 17th century by Jan Opaliński, priest and abbot from Rokitnik. According to the tradition, it is one of 13 works painted by Saint Luke the Evangelist. Since the beginning, it was considered miraculous and was greatly revered. Because of that, the sanctuary was a pilgrimage destination.

The church consists of the collection of numerous souvenirs, gifts, and votive offerings which shows the fame of the church. The most important items are the monstrance donated by Sigismund III Vasa and a piece of the Turkish tent offered by John III Sobieski after the victory in Vienna.

The parish keeps the book of miracles, graces, and conversions achieved thanks to Our Lady of Lewiczyn.
