Welcom to Swedish Hill

The place of miracle from the time of Thirty Years’ War. Once for their own entertainment and later because of orders they had been given, Swedish dragoons (Protestants) were schooting towards the painting of Mary, mother of Jesus. None of the bullets have ever reached the target, morover they bounced hurting soldiers deadly. Swedish have decided to burn the painting in public . They tried to transfer miracle image of Theotokos ( a title of Mary, mother of Jesus) to Nysa but during the Road the painting had gone missing and was fund here. From now on this place was colled Swedish Hill.

The local population has been coming to miraculous painting to pray for help and defense. They have built a small chapel which was visited by pilgrims from near and far. In 1741, a local teacher August Jensh has begun construction of the chapel. Bilding materials were offerd by Countess Maria Chorinski with family Starhember Herbstein. Baroque-rococo altar with a wooden Pieta has given sanctuary patronage of Mather of Sorrows. Miraculous painting was originally settled in side altar. Today its copy is placed on the left from main alter.
