Franciscan monastery complex in Kalwaria Pacławska

The buildings which can be seen here today were built in 1770–1775, to replace the former structures, a wooden church and monastery, which were destroyed by fire. From 1679 it is home to the painting of Our Lady of Kamieniec, later referred to as Our Lady of Kalwaria Pacławska. Inside you can admire valuable Baroque altars and wall paintings from 1857. Pilgrims visit the place in large numbers to follow the way marked with 43 shrines (including 5 made of wood), scattered in the nearby forests.
