Pride of Szalowa - a wooden church from the 1730s. It is worth noting that at the time of its foundation, Augustus III of Saxony, the penultimate king of Poland, began his rule and the hussars were still a significant force in the Polish army. Inventions such as the steam engine, the telephone or even the light bulb were not yet known - the pinnacle of modernity at that time was the mercury thermometer invented a few years earlier.

In 1784, large masses of earth slid down the slopes of Maślana. In 1913, Jelenia Góra triggered another landslide, which reached catastrophic proportions and destroyed a large forest area and several buildings in the Szklarki settlement. Strange folds in the terrain and numerous lakes in the depressions formed. In the landslide area there is a lake, commonly called "Beskidzkie Morskie Oko". Its area is about 80 m² and its depth is about 4 m.

The parish church of St. Catherine and St. Nicholas survived until the end of the 19th century. Then it turned out to be insufficient, and the river stone from which it was built caused its dampness. In the spring of 1908, the construction of a new church began in its place. In 1909, the foundations were laid, and the cornerstone was consecrated the following year. The construction works were carried out by Roman Olszewski, implementing the project of the Warsaw architect Józef Pius Dziekoński. Later, work on the church was carried out by the then Vice-Rector of the Warsaw University of Technology, Zdzisław Mączeński. The church was erected in the neo-gothic style of brick with the use of stone. On November 25, 1913, the bishop of Tarnów, Ignacy Maciejowski, made a temporary consecration of the still unfinished building. The outbreak of World War I prevented further construction. It was only in November 1918 that the top of the tower was finished and the church was covered with copper sheet.

In 1662, a serious fire took place, in which the parish church was heavily damaged. From the original equipment, only the statue of the Virgin Mary with the Child has survived to modern times[2]. Services were held in the church of St. St. Bernard. The people of Grybów helped in the reconstruction of the church, donating money for this purpose. The newly built church was solemnly consecrated on May 10, 1705 by the suffragan bishop of Kraków, Kazimierz Łubieński.

The first church of St. Catherine of Alexandria was funded by Kazimierz Wielki, as stated in the city's foundation document of May 15, 1340. It was a Gothic, oriented, single-nave, three-bay church with a chancel closed on three sides and a high tower adjoining the nave from the west, built of river stone and brick.
