St Andrew's Church
The best preserved example of Romanesque architecture in Kraków, this massive church was built from stone blocks towards the end of the 11th century, and also fulfilled important defence functions... »
St Anne’s Church
One of Poland’s most magnificent baroque structures was erected thanks to a foundation of professors of Kraków Academy and King John III Sobieski, to a design developed by the architect Tylman van Gameren... »
St Barbara's Church
The church was built around 1400, most probably as a cemetery chapel: St Barbara was venerated as the patron saint of a good death. It replaced the former mortuary... »
St Bartholomew's Church
Even though built in the Middle Ages – the time of anonymous builders and architects – its builder chiselled his full name and the year of its construction on the entrance portal... »
St Benedict's Church
One of the oldest churches in Kraków. Research proved that its lower sections are built of boulders characteristic of Romanesque constructions. It may have been a foundation of the Benedictines from Tyniec, as the name of the patron saint would suggest. This, however, is only a guess as the most ancient history of the original Romanesque church is lost in the mists of time... »
St Catherine and St Margaret's Church
The church is a foundation of King Casimir the Great. It is an excellent example of the Gothic sacred architecture that we owe to a bishop’s anathema... Even though the construction of the basilica began around 1343, it was never fully completed... »
St Giles' Church
According to tradition, the church was founded by Prince Ladislaus Herman in the 11th century as thanksgiving for the birth of his son, Boleslaus. Archaeological research has not however confirmed that version... »
St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist's Church
Just the very position of the church – at an angle and out of the line of ul. Św. Jana– proves that it dates from before the City’s Charter (i.e. from before 1257). This is further attested by the remnants of the 12th-century Romanesque walls... »
St Joseph's Church
The church with its extremely rich decoration, inspiring even a sensation of surfeit, is a homage to neo-Gothic, a style so popular in the sacred art of the 19th century... »
St Mark's Church
The construction of the Church, funded by Prince Boleslaus the Chaste (Bolesław Wstydliwy) lasted a long time, even though it had already begun in the 1260s with the completion of the chancel... »
St Martin's Church
Early baroque with a modest façade in the form of Rome’s Il Gesù, the church was built in 1637-1640 for the Order of Discalced Carmelite Nuns. In 1816 the city authorities transferred it to the Lutheran congregation, and earmarked it as their parish church... »
St Mary’s Church
Over 600 hundred of history, high altar by Veit Stoss, the bugle call and the star-strewn paintings decorating the vaulting. All this and more in a single church! In the very heart of Kraków!... »
St Norbert and Former Premonstratensian Convent's Church
This church was built in 1636-1643 thanks to the efforts of the Prioress of the Premonstratensian nuns in Zwierzyniec, Dorota Kątska, who was famous for her boundless energy... »
St Peter and St Paul's Church
Jesuits arrived in Poland soon after the Council of Trident of 1563. Their Church in Kraków was the first in Poland to be built in the baroque style, a novelty at that time... »
St Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr and St Wenceslas' Cathedral Basilica
Although there are few who can guess which church bears the official name of the Cathedral Basilica of St Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr and St Wenceslas, nearly everyone has heard of Wawel Cathedral!!!... »
