There is a church under the vocation of Nativity of Most Holy Virgin Mary on a hill among branchy linden trees, next to an earlier trade route from Cracow to Rus and Hungary (so called the Upper Highway). The bricked temple was founded by Casimir the Great in 1340. His generosity may be explained by his close relationships with the Tyniec Benedictine Monastery to whom Łapczyca belonged at that time. A legend says that founding the church was an expiation gift for king’s sins committed with a glamorous royal concubine Rokiczana.
The Gothic bricked church was destroyed and rebuilt several times – it is the oldest sacred monument on the Bochnia land.
