St Kinga’s Chapel in the Salt Mine

Buried deep underground in the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a huge man made chamber called St Kinga’s Chapel. It’s quite a sight to see after wandering down tunnel and after tunnel. You come across chambers on the way there, but this one is the special one, and it’s a consecrated Catholic Church where they hold religious ceremonies.

It’s 101m underground, 11m high and has a floor space of 465 metres squared.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time to spend there as the mine is really busy at this time of year with tourist groups coming in and out all the time!
