Kalwaria Zebrzydowska park is a Mannerist architectural and park landscape complex and pilgrimage park, built in the 17th century as the Counter Reformation in the late 16th century led to prosperity in the creation of Calvaries in Catholic Europe.
It is the best known sanctuary in Poland, after Jasna Gora in Częstochowa.[citation needed].
The park, located near the town Kalwaria Zebrzydowska which took its name from it, was added in 1999 to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
