Which cultural sites define Bardo?
One notable religious site is Kaplica Górska. It was built from 1617 to 1619 on the summit of Góra Bardzka. The summit is 583 metres above sea level and is now called Kalwaria. On the way to the summit is the Maryi Spring, enclosed by a small brick chapel dating from 1893. The present-day Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built from 1686 to 1704.
The Museum of Sacred Art, founded in 1967, is located in the Redemptorist monastery next to the church. Its collection includes paintings, sculptures, liturgical vessels and vestments, other liturgical objects, and publications about the cult of Our Lady of Bardo. Different forms of sacred art are represented side by side: visual works, objects used in the liturgy, and publications about the local Marian cult.
The town’s history can also be encountered beyond its religious buildings. Well-preserved remains of an early medieval fortified settlement dating from the 10th to the 13th centuries lie along Noworudzka and Główna streets. They are among Bardo’s oldest monuments. The stone bridge over the Nysa Kłodzka was completed in 1589. Following its reconstruction in 1909, it acquired its present-day Gothic appearance. The mechanical panoramic nativity scene was created to commemorate 700 years of pilgrimage to Bardo (1270–1970).
