Church of Saint Martin

Koscioł św. Marcina, St. Martin's Church
Poland, Warsaw
"St. Martin's Church" is an integral part of the Old Town of Warsaw and a characteristic example of the architecture of its time. The church was erected by order of Prince Zemovit III at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries. As a result of several reconstructions and a fire, the architecture of the church was modified several times. From the original Gothic cathedral to the present day, the church building has come down in the Baroque style with elements of Rococo. At various times, well-known Polish and Italian masters, such as J. Spinola and K. Bai, took part in the reconstruction of the church. The Church of St. Martin acquired its final architectural appearance after restoration work at the end of the Second WorldRead completely ↓

The Augustinian church and the monastery of St. Martin remained the property of the monastery until the dissolution of the order in 1866. This monastery, founded in 1353 by Prince Semowit Mazowiecki and built in the Gothic style, underwent further reconstructions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to finally acquire a late Baroque form. Especially interesting is the facade and the church bell tower with preserved Gothic elements in the lower part. Under it there is a passage to the arcade courtyard of the monastery.
