Church of St. Anne

Koscioł św. Annie
Poland, Krakow
The baroque Roman Catholic Church is located in the historical center of Krakow and is adjacent to the building of the Jagiellonian University Museum. This is the third temple located on this site. The first - wooden - was built in the XIV century. After it burned down in 1407, a second one was built in the Gothic style, which lasted until 1689, until it was dismantled. In the same year, the current church was founded. The project was led by the famous architect Tilman van Gameren, who took the Roman Basilica of Sant'Andrea della Valle as a model. Construction was completed at the very beginning of the 18th century. The facade of the Church of St. Anne is two-tiered, with two side towers crowned with spiers.

The wooden church was built in the 14th century. In the first half of the 15th century, after a fire, a Gothic church was built by order of King Wladyslaw Jagiello. The current church was built after the demolition of the Gothic at the expense of the Krakow Academy in 1689-1703 according to the design of Tillman de Gameren. This is one of the most beautiful baroque buildings in Poland - a three-nave basilica, covered with a cylindrical ceiling with lunettes and a dome. On both sides of the facade of the tower, which are topped with late Baroque helmets designed by Father Sebastian Serakowski.
