It’s

The camper is ready for its European adventure! But
before it leaves the Malopolska region, the inauguration has to be completed.
And there’s no better place to celebrate this special moment than Lipnica Murowana!
Its name is CAMPER MALOPOLSKI, since Malopolski is representing its place of origin - the Malopolska region.
The Camper’s inauguration took place in a very special

St Leonard’s Church in Lipnica Murowana dates from the end of the 15th century and is one
of the oldest and most precious wooden churches in Małopolska, entered onto the
UNESCO World Heritage List in 2003. According to tradition it was built in 1141
on the site of a pagan temple hence, supposedly, the so-called Światowid’s
pillar, a back support for the St. Leonard altar. The church’s interior is
decorated by painting (polychrome) from various periods, from the end of the
C15th to the beginning of the C18th. The chancel is decorated with: The
Crucifixion, The Last Supper and the Last Judgment, while the nave has scenes
from The Passion and The Ten Commandments. Among the precious fittings are: a
rare processional feretrum with a bas-relief of the Holy Trinity and a music
box (still working).
