This early Gothic church in Szaniec is impressive, with a presbytery, north chapel and sacristy. The church is really beautiful - no wonder people have been photographing it for many years.

One of the oldest churches in Busko-Zdrój. A wooden structure on a foundation, built in 1699. There are also many historic tombstones in the cemetery. You can only visit at certain times. The interiors are stunning: you don't have to be religious to appreciate the power of history.

After the war, the village began to function as a recreational settlement for nearby Kielce, especially since the Belnianka River reservoir was opened in 1976, and a sports centre was built in the 1980s, which belonged to the Provincial Sports and Recreation Centre in Kielce. In 1997, during the flood, the rising waters of the reservoir broke the dam and partially destroyed the village buildings located below the water level. In the summer of 2005, the removal of the damage caused by the element was completed.
