In Porąbka Uszewska there is a Cave of Our Lady of Lourdes, a copy of the original cave in Lourdes,

The interior of the cave is a large room, in the middle of which there is a neo-Gothic stone altar. In the cavity of the outer wall there was placed the figure of Mary Immaculate. The initiator of the Cave of Our Lady of Lourdes was Priest John Palka, the then vicar of the parish in Porąbaka Uszewska. In 1900 he took a pilgrimage to Lourdes. Delighted what he saw and experienced in the great Marian shrine, he decided to build the local parish cave, which will reveal true place of the apparitions of Mary in “massabielskie” rocks. From the completed pilgrimage he brought a plaster model of the cave and a bottle of water from the miraculous spring. The idea of building the Cave was met with great appreciation of parishioners who set out to build it. It was built on a Godów hill side, next to the old wooden Church. Solid of Cave has a rectangle plan. Input arcade with decorative lattice faces the south. On the sides there are located outbuildings, on the right - vesrty, on the left - storeroom, converted later into the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. The external façade is made of rough stone, imitating the natural rock.
