The Shrine commemorating the uprising of “Solidarity” movement in Izabelin
The events between the years 1980-1981
and the subsequent period known as the
“festival of freedom” have left some scarce
reminders in Nieporęt and its surroundings.
One such a memento, located at the intersection
of Krzywa and Izabelińska Streets, is
a chapel hung on a tree with two interesting
symbolic inscriptions: a symbol of freedom –
a broken chain and the date of May 3, 1981,
when Poland could openly celebrate, for the
first time in many years, both a church festival
and a public holiday (the anniversary
of the Constitution of May 3, 1791 and the
Feast of Our Lady Queen of Poland).
