Kostolík (Little Church) is a peak in the valley of Batizovská dolina, just south of Batizovský štít (2448m). There are several good climbing routes on all sides of the peak. Some of the routes are about 120m in height from the valler floor in the west and south to the summit. Easiest routes were climed in 1905 by J.Chmielowski, J. Marusarz. They followed the northeast ridge to the summit which is the easiest route graded 2-3.

Kostolík is most known for claiming the lives of 23 year old Wiesław Stanisławski and his friend Witold Wojnar when they are climbing the northwestern route called Komín Z-SZ (graded IV-V) in 1933. Despite his young age, Wiesław Stanisławski did more than 140 first ascents in the High Tatras while his friend Witold Wojnar was less experienced.
