St. Kinga’s Chapel
The chapel delights with its space and decoration made entirely of salt. It is the most magnificent and richest temple in the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Its décor was created almost a hundred years ago by talented sculptor miners. The crystal chandeliers, the beautiful salt floor and hundreds of details, each of which is a small work of art, complete the ambiance of this place. Weddings in the chapel take place after the last group of visitors has completed their tour of the mine, which is typically around 8:30 PM.
