What To Expect

Our Lady of Czestochowa / The Black Madonna

The Black Madonna painting is the focus of any visit to Jasna Góra. Said to have been painted by Luke the Evangelist, it is thought to have been painted in the 14th century. The painting has been credited with numerous military successes, including the defeat of Swedish forces at Jasna Góra in 1655 and the victory in the Battle of Vienna in 1683. Featuring the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, the painting is unveiled to visitors daily, to a special musical accompaniment called the ‘royal intrada’. Check the unveiling times to make sure you don’t miss out on seeing this sacred artwork.

Our Lady of Czestochowa / The Black Madonna

The Chapel of Our Lady with the Image of the Mother of God and Baby Jesus, also known as the Black Madonna, is the most important goal of the pilgrims arriving in Jasna Góra. It was from the altar of Our Lady that the Polish kings set out on military expeditions and brought here their votive offerings. John Paul II also offered a Golden Rose and the belt shot through during the attempt on his life in 1981, which are now placed next to the image of the Black Madonna. The chapel consists of three parts erected at different times. The oldest, gothic part is today’s presbytery and is decorated with an ebony and silver altar from the 17th century. The second, baroque part is decorated with votive offerings, expressing gratitude to the Mother of God for favors. The third part of the chapel dates from the beginning of the 20th century. Visitors are welcome to attend mass, which is held daily.

Fortifications. The monastery was heavily fortified in the 17th century to protect it from attack and the ramparts, arsenal with cannons are still in place to explore today. The armoury building is a reminder that the shrine had to defend itself from enemy attacks many times in its history, including a raid by Hussites who cut the painting so badly it had to be repainted.
