This is so-called 'Swedish Chapel' ('Kapliczka Szwedzka') from 1771. It is situated near Jagiellonska Street. It commemorates the victory of our town during the Swedish Deluge (Nowy Sacz was the first town in Poland where the Swedes became defeated). The chapel was built in the place where the Swedish soldiers were buried.

Very interesting...I know little about the various European conflicts but I do know some of my Swedish ancestors were involved...maybe some are buried here?
Love photo of what appears to be a lovely final resting place.
Wiem gdzie jest, ale nie wiedziałam że się tak nazywa:)
pozdrawiam
Ciekawa historia! Dobrze, że kaplica dotrwała do naszych czasów - pięknie odnowiona i zadbana.
Interesting piece of history :) I haven't read much about Swedish invasion, but I look forward to reading about it.
NIce photo and interesting story.
Fajne rzeczy w mieście macie :)
A very simple chapel, it is nace when they place the year of construction just in sight! Swedes had their bad moment in Europe, but have been successful in keeping it quiet!
I know so little about your history — or that of Sweden. Whatever it was about, I think it's very nice of your city to have a beautiful memorial for the Swedish soldiers. It's a charming little chapel.
Sweden had some great state ideas those days, fortunately forgotten!
