Gwoździany is a village situated on the north-western edge of the Silesian voivodeship. It is proud of an interesting monument, which is the local church of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This sixteenth-century church was moved to its present site from Kościelisko near Olesno in the 70s of the 20th century. The shrine in Gwoździany, which is a parish church in the Diocese of Opole, lies on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesia province.
