You can visit the Sanctuary inside. It's really rich and beautiful
I have been here. I did not go inside the church because I am not a Catholic. I was blessed by the priest with other members of the party I was with. We had gone on a mini-pilgrimage. A long walk from the Wellness Centre where we were staying. I did not realise how magnificent the church was because we did not look inside. There is a small railway station nearby where intercity trains stop. There is a hilltop village with a pretty market square. Poland is not so good at doing 'pretty'. And a very picturesque lunatic asylum.
Engrossing history. Really really worthwhile
A beautiful place. Must see in the Polish map of Sanctuaries. Highly valued by John Paul II
Polish Sanctuary of a very special meaning as it was loved by our Pope Holy John Paul 2. Beautiful church with rich history. Unusual manger at Christmas time.
An experience you should not miss. A charming, peaceful place with a unique atmosphere and surrounded by nature. Even if you're not religious, this environment fills you with peace. It's on the side of a hill and there're dozens of paths that go deep, up and down, into the thick old forest. There's a public residence with spartan but spacious rooms sporting an incredible view... for little more than 10 if you book in-site. There's also a cafeteria and an unpretentious restaurant with good quality, homemade food, and a lovely terrace. At night there's complete quietness. I would come back without a doubt. The only down sides I could find were the unfriendly check-in/out times (15/09 respectively) and low pressure shower. But for that money...
Very impressive place, it feels like discovering town in church premisses. You will find there post office, book store, restaurant, ice cream stand etc. You can enter the yard through the main church as its all connected or from a different side. There is a free of charge parking just next to the sanktuarium.
