    "Na Wodzie" Chapel - a chapel in the village of Ojców in the Ojców National Park, at the foot of rocks called Prałatki. It is a historic wooden sacred building dedicated to Saint Józef the Robotnik.
    It was erected in 1901 on the site of the former Goplana spa baths. It was erected on concrete foundations straddling two banks of the Prądnik stream. According to the legend, the unusual location of the building resulted from the circumvention of the tsarist ban on building on the paternal land, so a water chapel was built.

    The Chapel "On the Water" of St. Joseph the Craftsman (Worker) is located on the site of the former spa baths, which were converted into a religious building in 1901. The chapel is situated above the stream on concrete supports, which, according to local tradition, was associated with the decree of Tsar Nicholas II, prohibiting the construction of religious buildings on Ojców land, so the chapel was built "on the water"...

    The chapel represents the "Swiss-fatherly" style. Its architecture contains elements of an Alpine openwork turret, while the interior refers to the Zakopane style, using wooden elements and carved details.
