Koziniec

The Czerna stream flows through Koziniec and is a tributary of the Skawa. In Koziniec, in “Wiercimakowo”, there is a brick wayside chapel dating from the mid-19th century and a former primary school building from 1935. The peaks Skalnica, Kapral, Kamień and Żar can be seen above the village. Koziniec lies near the eastern slopes of the Beskid Mały.

One distinctive example is the brick Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary in “Wiercimakowo”, dating from the mid-19th century. Its statue of the Virgin Mary was made in the early 20th century: Mary wears white robes and has her arms outstretched. This single religious artwork lets you distinguish both the statue’s design and the chapel’s building history.

The former brick primary school building in “Wiercimakowo”, dating from 1935, is also part of the village landscape. Its former function is part of the local history; it should be understood as a former school building. Other religious motifs illustrate the variety of the artworks: Koziniec has a stone statue of Our Lady of the Rosary from the early 20th century. In “Stańkowo” stands a stone sculpture of Christ falling beneath the cross. The motifs are therefore clearly distinct: the statue of the Virgin Mary in one place, and the depiction of Christ falling in another.

Another chapel with a statue of the Virgin Mary is now located in Koziniec on the Warchał family’s property. It is a separate point of interest from the wayside chapel in “Wiercimakowo”. If you are particularly interested in religious art and local architectural history, Koziniec offers several different motifs to compare, without conflating them into a single building or artwork.

The Czerna flows through Koziniec, linking the village with a specific waterway. As a tributary of the Skawa, it is also part of a wider river system. This may be of interest when choosing a destination if you are interested in a place’s landscape and waterways as well as its cultural features.

The peaks Skalnica, Kapral, Kamień and Żar can be seen from above Koziniec. The view is therefore defined by four named peaks. Koziniec is also near the eastern slopes of the Beskid Mały. These details provide a landscape setting for the village without assigning its cultural features to a single route or a particular viewpoint.

When choosing Koziniec as a destination, you can weigh up your interests: the chapels and statues represent religious visual art and local architectural history, while the stream and mountain views offer a different, landscape-focused perspective. There is also the Ludowa Dziecięca Kapela “Kozinianie”, a children’s folk music ensemble that reveals another cultural side of the village.
