Church of St Andrew Apostle
St. Andrew's Church in Kraków is a
Romanesque church, founded in 1079 by palatine Sieciech. It was built
between 1079-1098. Along the bottom of the larger part of facade are
small openings. The openings are defensive windows, unique to a church
and part of the defensive character of building. Built in Romanesque
style, it is one of the oldest buildings in Kraków, and from 1320 it
was used by the Order of St. Klara's. The Baroque interiors have
decorations by Baltazar Fontana, paintings by Karol Dankwart and
gilded alters.
