The Parish Church of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist (Harenda) in Zakopane

 Zakopane Local government: Zakopane |
| The Parish Church of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist in Harenda was erected in 1719 in Zakrzów, but in 1947-48 was transferred to Zakopane. The log construction walls are vertically boarded and moulded. The fittings include three C18th baroque wooden altars, brought from Książ Wielki to replace the destroyed Zakrzów ones. The paintings for all of the altars are the work of Władysław Jarocki. The church interior is covered by late-baroque polychrome depicting, among other things, the figures of St. Anne and St. John the Baptist, completed in the C18th by unknown guild painters, and supplemented in 1948-1950 with new motifs by Władysław Jarocki. |
