Built in Zakopane, Poland, this wooden chapel dedicated to the Sacred Heart exemplifies the distinctive Zakopane Style, an architectural movement rooted in regional timber construction traditions. Designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz, a leading figure in the style's development, the chapel at Jaszczurówka stands as a wooden structure that reflects the characteristic decorative and structural vocabulary of early twentieth-century Polish highland architecture. Recognized as an immovable monument in Poland, it represents both a sacred space and a significant example of heritage preservation in the Tatra region.
