Sorry, nope.

Nope. The priest was very tolerant towards the cat and stroke him for a while.

why hasn't anybody answered it yet - too easy? :)

rybnik: he's blessing the cat!Yes! ):):):):)

Cat's are devil's creatures so if a priest wants to have one, he must exorcise it first.

the last 3 are hard; I couldn't find them.These are the ones I think I see: smok (dragon), Pałac Kultury, Żubr(Polish bison), Polonez (car), Auschwitz, Kościół Mariacki, Wawel castle, Syrena, Kolumn Zygmunta, Mazowsze region

I think it's Warsaw castle, Mazury and Morskie Oko.
The "Auschwitz" looks like Biskupin.
Also there's some juhas herding sheep, the upside-down house and something like a football match inside the letter g.
But what's the building next to the Pałac Kultury?

Yes, Apage Satanas!

And the cat?

If your question was "And the dog?" I would know the rest:
- Teoretycznie tak... Tylko że mię coś podkusiło. Staropolszczyzne sie mnie zachciało. Sęk, sęk, równie dobrze mogłem powiedzieć, ja wiem... - tu leży pies pochowany...

[Theoretically yes… But why on earth I was tempted to talk the Old Polish? Knot, knag, I could have as well said, for example - here lies the buried dog [Hic jacet canis. That's where the shoe pinches, that's the snag]]

- ...piees? […do-o-g?]
- PIES! [DOG!]
- Piesek! Jaka rasa? [A liitle dog! What breed?]
- Szlag mnie trafi... [Damn my luck …]

Answer, then.

I think it's Warsaw castle, Mazury and Morskie Oko.

Yes.

The "Auschwitz" looks like Biskupin.

Because it is Biskupin. :):):)

Also there's some juhas herding sheep, the upside-down house and something like a football match inside the letter g.

Yes.

But what's the building next to the Pałac Kultury?

I guess it is this:

Answer, then.

Kościół Mariacki of course. You can even see the altar in the middle of the picture.

I guess it is this:

Ah yes, Swiątynia Opatrzności. But why is it there? As far as icons are concerned, the Swiebodzin Christ would be more recognizable.

No idea, but as there are tanks, probably something from WWII!

Because it looks a bit like the Capitol?

Hey, I didn`t understand at first, but now I remember - it is from the cabaret! At 6:30.

It's in Kałków-Godów near Ostrowiec Swiętokrzyski.

At the Shrine of the Queen of Sorrows Polish in Kałków in the district Starachowice is formed a model of government aircraft TU 154 M.
At the turn of months of June and July is planned to complete the construction and solemn devotion.
Statue in the shape of the presidential Tupolev will be made on a scale of 1: 2.5 from flooded concrete reinforcement steel, lined with bricks.
After completing the mock-up, it will be painted in the colors white and red, like the Polish government aircraft.

A life-size portraits of Maria and Lech Kaczynski will be at the door of the aircraft and on its windows appear portraits of Gosiewski, Ryszard Kaczorowski, Anna Walentynowicz and Janusz Kurtyka.

Monument will be located at the headquarters of Smolensk, near Golgotha, in which are the chapels commemorating the martyrdom of the Polish nation.
In the vicinity are planted oaks of memory of Maria and Lech Kaczynski, Gosiewski and Anna Walentynowicz. It is planned also to plant oaks of Ryszard Kaczorowski, Janusz Kurtyka.

Even better than the Swiebodzin Christ.

Correct!

I can't help thinking that something more strained would have been more suitable.
