This beautiful 11th century historic church is in the heart of Krakow, just south of Main Market Square along Grodzka Street. We read this stunning Anglican-Episcopal church has been a place of worship for the English-speaking community in Krakow since 1896. The striking Gothic Revival architecture and stunning stained-glass windows are wonderful, but at the time of our visit, there was a lot of construction/remodeling going on inside the church. However, if you are interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a peaceful oasis in the bustling city, this church is a must see. There is also a convent connected to the church, but it is not open to the public. Entry into the church is free.

Step into one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Krakow, built in the 11th century in Italian Baroque style, and enjoy its stunning Christmas decorations. Inside, you’ll find festive Christmas trees, vibrant bouquets of fresh flowers, and a warm holiday atmosphere. The nativity scene in the left chapel is a true masterpiece, with figures dating back to the 14th century, gifted to the church by Elizabeth, sister of Casimir the Great. In the 14th century, the church was handed over to the Order of the Poor Clares, and a women’s monastery adjoins the church. In the monastery courtyard, neatly trimmed evergreen bushes are shaped into geometric forms. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene. The monastery treasury holds valuable 18th-century reliquaries, a mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary from the 16th-17th centuries, and in the monastery library, there are rare books, including a late Romanesque gradual and illuminated early Gothic volumes.

A beautiful romanesque church constructed in the 11th Century designed as a fortification to withstand attacks from invaders....as is did against the Mongols in the 13th Century. There were additions constructed over a period of 800 years, including the exquisite interior in the Baroque style with the magnificent stucco and alter by Italian artisans.

One of the oldest buildings in Krakow and certainly one of the oldest churches. What's neat about this church is that it preserved its 11th century Romanesque shape. Another interesting fact is that its actually a fortified church, meaning that it served as a "keep" during sieges of the city. Rather small inside and the furnishings are of a much later date.
