Church of St Benedict

Kraków · Polen · Church

The miniature church on Lasota hill is the oldest brick building in Podgorze and opens to visitors on a single day each year, the Tuesday after Easter. Beneath its steps, the legend says, lives the Czarna Ksiezniczka, the Black Princess, guarding an immense treasure and freed only by a man who loves her and marries her. One young suitor climbed the hill at midnight and was handed a purse of money on one condition: he had to spend all of it on himself within three days and give away nothing. Crossing the bridge on the last day he met a beggar and handed over his final coins. The princess showed no mercy and tore his head from his shoulders, exactly as she had promised. Another version makes her a cruel ruler struck dead by lightning.
