Church of St. Anna in Kamienna Stara is a unique facility due to its age. It is the oldest wooden structure in Podlasie preserved to this day. It was founded by Piotr Wiesiołowski (the Younger) - the starosta of Kaunas, Tykocin and Wasilków, and later the marshal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Originally, it was only a manor chapel, the construction of which, according to local legend, was related to the case of the peasant daughter Anna, who was returning home from the manor, biting her to death by court dogs. It could therefore have been a form of a penitential chapel that, according to old penal law, a person guilty of death was supposed to set up at the crime scene as part of penance and reconciliation with the family of the deceased.
The wooden church was located next to the summer residence of the Wiesiołowski family, which has not survived to this day. The church in Kamienna, renovated many times, has retained its original appearance and decoration to this day, reminiscent of medieval religious buildings. It represents the simplest, single-nave spatial arrangement, without a separate presbytery, closed on three sides from the east. Above the porch – a choir supported by two pillars. The inner walls of the temple are lined with horizontally arranged boards in a natural wood color. The floor is also made of boards. The chapel has a stone baptismal font with the date engraved - 1609. The most valuable element of the temple's historic equipment is a beautiful polychrome altar from 1610. It is a triptych with Saint. Anna from the same period. Every year, on the feast of St. Anna, which falls on July 26, is celebrated here.
