The Holy Place Range

Objects of religious worship

Information

The range on the Rospuda River is an ancient place of worship, dating back to pagan times. Enclosed by a wooden fence, there are a chapel from 1990, a few wooden and stone crosses, cabinet shrines and a large wooden religious sculpture. One of the wooden crosses, clearly very old, with a copper plate nailed to it, indicating that the cross was put up by converted Yotvingians, who were baptised in 1283. The cross miraculously survived and still stands in this place today.
