Facts and practical information

St. Sebastian Church - Roman Catholic parish church, located on the southeastern outskirts of Wieliczka on St. Sebastian Street.

Larch church is located on a steep slope of Babina hill among several hundred years old trees. Its construction began in 1581, thanks to the efforts of Sebastian Lubomirski, the Wieliczka magistrate at that time. The temple was consecrated by cardinal Jerzy Radziwiłł in 1598.

It is a single-nave, oriented church with a pentagonal closed chancel, narrower than the nave. A sacristy adjoins the chancel from the left side. It was erected as a votive offering to thank for saving the town from a cholera epidemic.
