In the village of Raszów, at the foot of Wielka Kopa in the Rudawy Janowickie mountains, stands one of the most remarkable historic churches near Kamienna Góra - a Gothic building from the 15th century that hides a true treasure inside: the Renaissance mausoleum of the Schaffgotsch family. This is a place that surprises visitors with a scale and craftsmanship rarely found in a small village church.
Raszów is a classic chain village stretched along a valley and the slopes of Wielka Kopa, above the Bystrek stream. The surroundings have a peaceful, pastoral character - meadows, orchards and fields framed by the Rudawy Janowickie ridge create a picturesque setting, especially beautiful in spring and autumn when the light highlights the church's rugged stone facade. The tower with its characteristic 19th-century spire is visible from afar and serves as a helpful landmark for hikers descending from nearby trails.
How to get thereThe inscription over the Renaissance portal reads 'Pax sit intranti, salus exeuntibus' - peace to those entering, health to those leaving - a fitting motto for anyone pausing here during a mountain hike.
