Chapel of skulls

A place worth visiting

When staying in our apartments in Kudowa , we recommend going on a trip to the Skull Chapel.

One of our apartments is located directly at the Chapel. From the windows you will see the church tower, the chapel itself, but also the surrounding hills.

The apartment is located in an old tenement house, so staying in it guarantees that you will feel the spirit of the area. A full description of the apartment and the offer of stay can be found here: Apartment at the Museum.

Unique in Poland


The Skull Chapel is a large, common tomb of the victims of the Silesian wars of 1740-1742 and 1744-1745, and of infectious diseases from the 18th century.

The walls and ceiling of the chapel are lined with 3,000 human skulls and bones. Several dozen (20-30,000) human remains lie under the floor.

The chapel was built in 1776 by priest Wacław Tomaszek, who took eight years to build the chapel, collect the remains, disinfect and impregnate them, and arrange the remains. The chapel is a unique image of transience and human fragility where the remains of former families, friends and enemies met. Once a year at midnight on August 14-15, a holy mass is celebrated in the Chapel of Skulls. for all those who rest in it and for all those who died as a result of diseases or as a result of unfortunate accidents.

The Skull Chapel is the only facility of this type in Poland and one of three in Europe.
