Four miles southwest of Stara L'ubovn'a is the Roman Catholic village of Kolac'kov. Its inhabitants are mostly members of the Goral ethnic group (who speak a dialect that blends Slovak and Polish) and Roma (Gypsies). It is surprising that such a small village has, in addition to the small church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, a rotunda chapel dedicated to St. John Nepomucene (a priest in Prague, martyred around the year 1400), a roadside statue of St. Theresa, and a hillside way-of-the-cross, with a small chapel at the top. The carved wooden statues at the right-hand side altar in the church are from the 16th century. The engraved stone tablet attached to the outside church wall is a memorial to a nobleman, Samuel Kolac'kovsky, who died at age 34 in the year 1612. The cross next to the church is a monument to men from the village who died in WWII.
