Church of the Holy Trinity

Poland, Krakow

The church of the monastic order of the Bonifratres, located in the central part of Krakow, almost on the banks of the Vistula River. Construction began in 1741. After the ban of the monastic order of the Trinitarians - the original owners of this Catholic church - in 1796, a military warehouse was located within its walls. In 1812, the church was transferred to the monastic order of Bonifratra, which had its monasteries in Poland since the beginning of the 17th century. The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in the Baroque style and boasts one of the most beautiful facades in Poland. On the vault of the nave is a polychrome painting depicting the history of the Trinitarians. In the main altar there is a figure of Jesus Christ consecrated by Pope Clement XIII. A two-storey monastery of the 18th century adjoins the religious building on the left side.

Church of the Holy Trinity and the Monastery of Bonifratri

Roman Catholic Church of the Monastic Order of Bonifratri. In 1688, the Bishop of Cracow, Jan Malakhovsky, allowed the Trinitarians to settle in Cracow, a monastic order that redeemed Christian prisoners of war from Turkish captivity. The new monks came from Lviv and settled in a Dominican monastery. After the allocation of the site in Kazimierz in 1741, the construction of the church began. After the ban was banned by the Austrian authorities in 1796, a military corps was stationed in the church.→
