MALINOWE and PARTISAN CHAPEL Powiatsuski 21 February 2022

MALINOWE and PARTISAN CHAPEL

Malinowe is the name of the mountain pass (approx. 825 m above sea level) situated in the main ridge of the Polica Range, as well as the clearing located slightly below the ridge, once occupied by the houses of a hamlet, burnt by the Germans in 1944 in retaliation for a failed raid on the partisans. On the upper edge of the clearing, by the blue tourist trail from Kojszówka to Sidzina, in the years 1989-1922, a symbolic partisan mausoleum was built, inside of which there is a relief depicting the Mother of God holding a fallen boy, a Home Army soldier, in her arms, bricks with names and pseudonyms of members of partisan units, very active in this area during the occupation, as well as a plaque dedicated to Gen. Stanisław Maczek, commanding Polish troops during the battle of nearby Wysoka in the first days of September 1939, and a bas-relief depicting the ‘forest men’, the work of Henryk Ostruszko, a soldier of one of the units operating in the area.

Next to it there is a chapel of Our Lady of the Home Army, erected by former partisans in 1983 and also designed by one of them, Adam Leśniak from Sidzina
