Church of St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr in Górecko Kościelne.
Its history dates back to the 17th century and is associated with the cult of St. Stanislaus, bishop and martyr, who appeared to a young farmer, Jan Socha, and indicated the places where chapels and a church were to be built.
Upon hearing of the extraordinary graces that the people experienced at the place of the apparition, Ordynat Marcin Zamojski ordered a chapel to be built in honor of St. Stanislaus, as well as a church, which was unfortunately burned down by the Swedes.
The new temple was built in 1768. Beautifully situated among old trees, the temple captivates with its beauty and simplicity.
In 1968, Cardinal Karol Wojtyła donated authentic relics, a bit of St. Stanislaus' bones, to the church in Górecko Kościelne.
