Pilgrims look in in her family home, in which there is a small museum, the Church where she was baptized and where lie her mortal remains (relics of Blessed Karolina are in a tin coffin inside the sarcophagus, on both sides of which there are two kneeling angels, shielding the girl with wings) and light candles at the place where she was murdered. Beatification of Karolina Kózka took place during the Mass celebrated in Tarnów, June 10, 1989 by the Holy Father Pope John Paul II
