On 24 August 2018, we drove along Route 594 and headed east from Reszel town towards Swieta Lipka, a small village in Northern Poland, to visit the Our Dear Lady of Swieta Lipka church.
This church is on the Camino Polaco walking pilgrimage route which is part of the wider Way of St James (Camino de Santiago) pilgrimage route that spans a number of European countries and is linked to the pilgrimage routes in France and Spain. The Way of St James leads to / ends at the shrine of St James. To read more about the Way of St James in Poland, click here.
The Camino Polaco in Poland starts from the Polish border with Lithuania at Sejny and goes westward for 300km to Olsztyn. The route is marked by the shell of St James.
Though the church is in a small village, it is very impressive both inside and outside.
