For over two centuries, Szczawnica has delighted visitors with its unique atmosphere. This spa town is known for its therapeutic mineral waters, elegant Swiss-Tyrolean architecture and exceptional location among the mountains. Its distinctive identity is also shaped by pastoral traditions, timber-rafting heritage and postcard-perfect views of Trzy Korony and Sokolica.

This combination of nature, history and local traditions has created an exceptionally inspiring artistic environment. As a result, the relatively small town of Szczawnica is home to as many as nine galleries and venues associated with art, history and the region’s cultural heritage. These are places where visitors can discover painting, photography, folk art and the history of the Pieniny Mountains.
