St. Jacek's Church in Warsaw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warsaw's St. Jacek's Church (Kościół św. Jacka) is located in the New Town of the Polish capital, at 52°15′5″N, 21°0′32″E.

It was founded by Dominicans, and is adjoined by Warsaw's largest monastery. The church is a mixture between styles from both Renaissance and early baroque. It was started in 1603 and completed in 1639.

During the Second World War, the church and monastery were used as a field hospital. This made them a target for frequent bombing, especially by the Nazis in the Warsaw Uprising.
