About this place
The Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Poland, drawing visitors for its spiritual atmosphere and deep connection to Saint Faustina Kowalska, the apostle of Divine Mercy. It is worth visiting not only for believers, but also for anyone interested in Kraków’s religious heritage and peaceful places away from the city bustle.
Inside and around the sanctuary, you can see the modern basilica, the chapel with the famous image of Merciful Jesus, and the tomb of Saint Faustina. The site also offers panoramic views from the tower, quiet spaces for reflection, and a museum that helps explain the message of Divine Mercy.
- Plan some time for prayer, reflection, or a guided visit if you want to understand the site better.
- Dress modestly, especially if you plan to enter the basilica or chapel.
- The sanctuary is easy to reach from central Kraków, and combining it with nearby Łagiewniki attractions makes for a meaningful half-day trip.
