It is called "the peral of Polish Baroque".
It is the sanctuary of Virgin Mary, a church and a monastery.
The legend says that the convict waited for the death sentence in prison.
The Virgin Mary helped the convict. She said he had to make the sculpture of her. He did it and the sculpture of Mary with a Child was so wonderful that it helped him. The judges told that it was a sign that God pardoned the convict. So they let him go.
The man left the sculpture of Mary on the linden which was near and after that this place started to be famous with a lot of miracles.
The beggining of this Saint Place was in the 14th century and the first mentions about the small chapel in this place were from 15th century.
It is very interesting place to visit it.
There are a big baroque organs there are you can listen to the special concerts.
