Alongside Villa Koliba and the House “Pod Jedlami,” the Jaszczurówka Chapel is considered one of the most valuable monuments of the Zakopane Style, the only national architectural style in Polish history.

The Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was founded by the sons of Adam Uznański, the late owner of the Szaflary estate. Construction was completed and the chapel was consecrated in 1908. At that time, Jaszczurówka belonged to the Szaflary estate rather than Zakopane.
The chapel was designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz and is regarded as one of the finest examples of the Zakopane Style. Set on a hillside atop a high stone foundation, it features a single nave, a small sacristy adjoining the chancel from the south, rich ornamentation, a beautiful steep shingle-covered roof, and a small bell turret.
Inside, visitors can admire the main altar, also designed by Witkiewicz, which combines elements of a traditional Highland cottage with characteristic Podhale woodcarving.
The Stations of the Cross, painted on glass by Jan Jachymiak, date from the 1950s. The impressive wooden candelabrum was carved by Stanisław Zdyb, better known as a mountaineer, skier, and mountain rescue volunteer.
The two side altars and the sculpture of the Pensive Christ above the entrance were created by the outstanding folk sculptor Józef Janos of Dębno. Particularly noteworthy are the stained-glass windows in the chancel, depicting Our Lady of Częstochowa, Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn, the Piast Eagle, and the Pahonia, the historic coat of arms of Lithuania.
A true jewel of the Zakopane Style, the chapel is also considered one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Poland.
