Lonely Planet review for Church of Our Lady on the Sand

The main monument on Sand Island (Wyspa Piasek) is the Church of Our Lady on the Sand, a lofty 14th-century building that dominates this tiny islet. Almost all the fittings were destroyed during WWII and the half-dozen old triptychs you see inside have been collected from other Silesian churches. The wonderful Romanesque tympanum in the south aisle is the only remnant of the original 12th-century church that once stood here.

There's a mechanised szopka (Nativity scene) in the first chapel to the right; make a small donation when one of the assistants turns it on.
