Church of St. Casimir the Prince

The Church of St. Casimir the Prince is located near Kraków Old Town. It was built for the Franciscans of Primitive Observance. It's a simple Baroque church with polychromes decorating the interior. Crypts consisting of 60 coffins with remains of monastics and laics are situated under the church.

The church was built around 1670. It wasn't the first church of the Franciscans of Primitive Observance in Kraków. The previous church burnt but part of the equipment including the miraculous painting of Mother of God was saved. The church has one nave and ridge turret. Reliefs of Saints Casimir, Anthony of Padua, and Peter of Alcantara are placed in the facade's niches.

The interior is decorated with polychromes. A wooden crucifix is placed at the main altar. The miraculous painting of Madonna which was saved from the fire can be found at the side altar. The Divine Mercy image is situated in the chapel added at the beginning of the 20th century. About 1000 people, monastics and laics, were buried in crypts under the church. Their remains, some of them mummified, rest in 60 coffins. A curiosity of the church is the 18th-century "bell for dying" placed on the wall.
