The Chapel of St Kinga Undoubtedly the crown jewel of the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the underground Chapel of St Kinga left us in awe. Carved entirely out of rock salt, this masterpiece is a testament to extraordinary artistry. It took three sculptors over 30 years to complete the intricate interiors. The chapel’s altar pieces, bas-reliefs, and chandeliers made from salt were nothing short of breathtaking. In addition to religious services, the chapel also hosts weddings and classical music concerts.
