Roadside shrines and crosses

Detailed description:

Roadside crosses and shrines have become an inherent part of the rural landscape of Niemys?owice. The first object is a brick shrine located at the former monastic house which has been recently renovated. Inside it there are statutes of St. Antoni and St. Joseph bequeathed by Rev. Porada. Other worth mentioning objects are stone and wooden crosses. The objects are the evidence of great religiousness of the village community, in addition to some magic powers attributed to them – they are supposed to protect the village against disasters.
