Church of St. Casimir

Poland, Krakow
The Church of St. Casimir, together with the adjacent Franciscan monastery and catacombs, is located in the historical center of Krakow. The baroque religious building was consecrated in 1672. Within the walls of the church there are altars in the late Baroque style, and there is gilded stucco in the decor. The crucifix stands on the main altar in accordance with the basic rule of the monastic order of the Franciscans. The frescoes on the vault of the church date back to 1904. The temple was named after Prince Casimir, the son of the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Casimir IV. The prince died at the age of 25 from tuberculosis, and was subsequently canonized. Considered the patron saint of youth. The main entrance of the church is decorated with the icon of St. Casimir.

The Reformed appeared in Poland in 1622. Their first church, built in 1640, was burned during the Swedish invasion of 1655. In 1658, the Reformers settled on what is now Reformatska Street, in an estate donated by the Cracow castellan Stanisł aw Warszycki. In 1666 the cornerstone of the new church was consecrated, and in 1672 the construction of the Baroque church was completed. In the upper part of the facade there are three shallow niches with bas-reliefs of Saints Kazimierz, Anthony and Peter of Alcantara.
