Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Krynica-Zdrój

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a parish church in Krynica-Zdrój, located in the area of the former village of Słotwiny. It belongs to the Krynica-Zdrój deanery of the Diocese of Tarnów. It is a very young building: it was built in 1991-2000, and not in the time of the town's spa heyday.

Construction in 1991-2000

The foundation stone was blessed on 2 June 1991 by Pope John Paul II. It was laid only on 29 September 1996, by Bishop Józef Życiński. The church was blessed and consecrated on 22 September 2002 by Bishop Wiktor Skworc.

What it looks like

According to the description in the online encyclopedia, it is a brick single-nave church with one tower and three altars. The interior décor was designed and made by Krzysztof Kabat.
