10 Sights & Landmarks in Zakopane That You Shouldn't Miss
Just a few miles from the Slovak border in south central Poland, Zakopane is a resort town in the Tatra Mountains, popular with skiers in winter and with hikers and climbers year-round. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Zakopane grew into Poland’s most visible art colony, a hotbed of culture ended by Soviet influence after World War II. Today it harkens back to an earlier time, complete with gorgeous wooden houses. Learn about these buildings and more at the Museum of Zakopane Style.

Willa Elzbiecina is a beautiful historic wooden villa in the Witkiewicz style, from 1912. From 1922, the villa was the property of Wojciech Korfanty, the leader of the Silesian Uprisings and a close friend of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. It was completely renovated and rebuilt.

This is an example that cemetery is not always a place of monumental sadness and memories. This is rather a meeting place with history of Zakopane, it's famous personalities, as well as showroom of local sculptors. Each grave is different and you can feel a piece of history behind of all of them.

What a holy place! Such amazing carved woodwork throughout the church and chapel. Built in 1992 with hand carved woodwork unlike any we have ever seen. Make sure you tour the chapel as well as the main church. We attended Mass in the Chapel which was a beautiful experience.
