Roadside shrine - cross in Bronowice

Although the tradition of erecting roadside crosses and chapels is no longer as popular as was once the case, those that remain from the past continue to evoke positive feelings. But they are not only places for religious reflection; they also serve as landmarks or as meeting places for local communities.
With this tradition in mind, the Silesian studio Medusa Group created a chapel in the Bronowice district of Kraków in 2016 at the request of some private investors. Behind its tall, see-through 'fence' made of Corten steel bars, the architects raised a glass cross. The rust-coloured fence separates the sacred space from the profane and the tall, slim rungs also create an exceptional mood inside the chapel.
