Right in the heart of Wisła, next to the town's main promenade, stands one of the most distinctive landmarks of this beloved mountain resort — the Lutheran Church of Saints Peter and Paul. Its impressive 45-metre tower rises above the rooftops of the town and immediately catches the eye of every visitor strolling along ulica 1 Maja.
The church's classical exterior is equally striking in summer, framed by green Beskid hillsides, and in winter, dusted with snow and glowing with a fairytale atmosphere. Step inside and you'll find the calm, bright interior typical of Protestant tradition — whitewashed walls, two-tiered galleries in the side aisles, and a magnificent altar with a stained-glass window depicting the church's patron saints. The window was crafted in 1932 by the renowned Kraków studio 'S.G. Żeleński' and is a genuine work of art worth admiring up close.
How to get thereInterestingly, the church was originally built without a tower or bells — the Tolerance Patent of 1781 forbade them. It was only after the Protestant Patent of 1861 granted equal rights to Protestants that the striking tower was added, and it has defined the town's skyline ever since.
