Костёл Святого Духа и монастырь паулинов в Варшаве

Kościół Ducha Świętego i klasztor Paulinów
Poland, Warsaw
The Church of the Holy Spirit and the Pauline Monastery are among the most important landmarks of the Polish capital. It holds the status of the diocesan Sanctuary of the Mother of Life of Jasna Góra.
The first wooden Gothic church, along with the first municipal hospital in Mazovia, was founded here in the 14th century by Prince Janusz the Elder. During the Deluge (1655–1660), the buildings completely burned down. In 1662, King John II Casimir granted the land to the Pauline monks.
The current stone church in the late Baroque style was built between 1707 and 1717 according to the designs of architects Józef Piola and Józef Szymon Bellotti.
During the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, the German army almost completely destroyed the church. It was carefully rebuilt in its original Baroque style by 1956. It is from this place that the most famous Warsaw walking pilgrimage to the icon of the Black Madonna in Czestochowa (on Jasna Góra) has set off annually since 1711.

The origins of the church date back to the fourteenth century, when Prince Janusz the Elder founded a wooden church together with the hospital. The temple was destroyed during the Swedish flood. In 1671, King Jan Casimir transferred the ruins and the surrounding land to the Pauline Fathers as an expression of gratitude for the defense of Jasna Gó ra. Around 1682, the monks built a brick monastery building on this site, in which the Holy Spirit Hospital was established. The church was built in 1707-1717 according to the design of Jó zef Szymon Belotti and Jó zef Piaola in the Baroque style.
