Brick Shrine of the Virgin Mary

Highlight • Religious Site

2.73 km

The New Mill Chapel is a little gem in the middle of the forest. The red brick literally shines between the old trees and gives the impression that time has taken a short break here. The neo-Gothic architecture gives the chapel a special aura that stands out from the surrounding nature and yet blends perfectly into the landscape.

As you get closer, the wrought iron cross on the roof catches your eye and the decorated windows reveal a hint of the past. The history of the chapel is closely linked to the old mill that stood nearby and once determined life in this remote corner. Today, only the old walls and the quiet atmosphere remind you of the past.

The path here leads through a dense forest and the hike to the chapel is an experience in itself. The gentle rustling of the leaves and the crunching of the forest floor under your feet accompany you until you suddenly stand in front of the chapel - a moment that invites you to pause.

Basilica of Gietrzwałd

Highlight • Religious Site

The church in Gietrzwałd was enlarged and expanded into a pilgrimage church in the years 1878–1884 by the Paderborn cathedral and diocesan architect Arnold Güldenpfennig. The church was opened in 1970 by Pope Paul VI. elevated to the minor basilica. During the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Dietrichswald, 13-year-old Justyna Szafrynski and 12-year-old Barbara Samulowski reported that they lived in Dietrichswalde (today Gietrzwałd in the Olsztyński powiat in the Polish Warmian-Masurian voivodeship) from June 27 to September 16, 1877 the Virgin Mary appeared several times. In contrast to the Marpinges apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which took place almost at the same time, the Prussian authorities reacted with caution. Bishop Maximilian Kaller recognized Dietrichswalde as a diocesan pilgrimage site. [10] The apparition was only officially recognized by his successor as Bishop of Warmia, Józef Drzazga, in 1977 (on the 100th anniversary) and thus approved the worship. Source: Wikipedia
