The village of Ślemień lies in the valley of the Łękawka
stream, which separates the southern slopes of the
Little Beskids from the Pewelskie Range of the Little
Beskids. The beginnings of settlement in these areas
date to the thirteenth century. One of the monuments
of the village is the church of Saint John the Baptist,
which was built in the mid-nineteenth century. This
building is not the first the local church, but stands on
the site of the earlier wooden shrines successively
constructed here.
Ślemień is a large Beskid village situated to the east of Żywiec. It can boast of its colorful history including one industrial episode. In the 18th century, for a short period of time, a smelter operated in the capital of the Ślemień state. The smelter was used to smelt iron from the bog ores. To this day, stone ruins of the smelter have remained in the vicinity of the parish church.
The sanctuary called “Jasna Górka” situated
within the property of the parish in Ślemień,
which is located amid picturesque hills of the
Pewelskie Mountain Range, is a pilgrimage
destination in the land of Żywiec. This center
of Marian cult, famous for miracles and the
venerated image, has been known for a very
long time. Pilgrims have come here not only
from the Polish lands, but also from Slovakia
and Moravia. The image of Our Lady is a
nineteenth-century copy of the Częstochowa
icon painted by Błażej Luks.
