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. In 1812, on the basis of a decree of Prince Frederick August of Warsaw, the church was transferred to the Bonifratri, an order that had its monasteries in Poland since 1609.
The church, built in the late Baroque style, has one of the most beautiful facades in Poland by Francisco Placidi, who in his design took the model of Francesco Borromini.
On the vault of the nave is a polychrome painting by Jó zef Piltz of Moravia, depicting the history of the Trinitarians - the Blessed Virgin Mary surrounded by angels and the scene of the redemption of prisoners from the captivity of St. Jan of Mother, founder of the Order of Trinitarians. In the neo-baroque main altar is a figure of Jesus, consecrated by Pope Clement XIII and handed over to the Trinitarians in Krakow. In 1991, the original painted side altars were opened, and among the drawings in the side altars are images of St. Jude Thaddeus and St. Caetano by Thaddeus Kuntze.
To the left of the church adjoins a two-story building of the 18th century - the monastery. On its facade are three memorial plaques: in honor of the 400th anniversary of the Order of Bonifratri in Krakow, in honor of the visit to the monastery by Pope John Paul II and in honor of Zhegota Paula - a prominent Polish historian, ethnographer and archaeologist who lived in the monastery for 25 years. life.
