A diocesan Marian sanctuary with a Baroque basilica, one of the most important centres of Marian devotion in northern Greater Poland.
Located in the village of Skrzatusz in the Szydłowo municipality, in the Piła district. Administratively it belongs to the Greater Poland Voivodeship, and ecclesiastically to the Diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg.
The Baroque church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was erected between 1687 and 1694 as a votive offering of gratitude for the relief of Vienna, with generous gifts from King John III Sobieski. The altar holds a 15th-century Pietà, crowned with papal crowns in 1988. In 2019 Pope Francis granted the church the dignity of a minor basilica.
The basilica with the miraculous Pietà of Our Lady of Sorrows.
