Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary of Grace in Janow Lubelski

This Baroque temple was built in the 17th century as the Church of St. John the Baptist for the Dominican Order. It was located in the place where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared since 1645. The richly decorated interior features an image of Our Lady of Grace. Despite intense bombing by the Germans during World War II, the temple suffered virtually no damage at all. One of the bombs fell through the roof into the interior of the church, but did not explode, which is considered a miracle. There is a museum at the church with valuable manuscripts, liturgical vestments and a large collection of old photographs of the city. The sanctuary, meanwhile, is surrounded by a beautiful park with a garden, a miraculous spring and the Apparition Chapel.
