Jodłownik
A wooden church of the Birth of the Virgin Mary. At the end of the 18th century the Cistercians from Szczyrzyc took over from the Dominicans the care for the church and the faithful. The parish was founded in1925.
The interior is decorated with a high altar from the 17th century with a painting of Our Lady with an Infant Jesus (Our Lady of Jodłownik- a patron of the parish) also from the 17th century. The painting is bestowed with a cult. Moreover, there is rococo polychromy from 1764 presenting medallions with busts of saints connected with the history of the Dominican Order and a portrait from 1600 of a founder of the church, Przecław Niewiarowski.
The Dominican Sisters have lived in the parish for many years. They help in catechization and ministry.
