Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Bukowina Tatrzańska -- Kosciol pod wezwaniem Najswietszego Serca Jezusowego

Parish website:
http://www.parafia-bukowinatatrzanska.pl/index.php?q=informacje-podstawowe

The church was finished in 1887 after a dozen years or so of construction work as it was built by just one man – Jedrzej Kramarz, a highlander from Bukowina. This self-educated builder was at the same time the architect and the contractor: he designed the church by himself, produced bricks and did the work of a bricklayer, a carpenter and a blacksmith. Finally, he sculpted the figures of saints to decorate the interior of the church and made the altars. Now the figures can be seen at the church entrance. In the main altar is a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and side images of Our Lady and St. Joseph.

Amazing 360 degree panorama view of the inside of the church.
