Romanesque (architecture), listed building / architectural heritage, Roman Catholic church, 11th century construction
St. Andrew's Church dates from the 11th century and is the finest example of Romanesque architecture in Kraków. Local residents took refuge within the strong walls of St. Andrew's during the Tartar raids.
The simple, white Romanesque exterior with two round towers has a humble, gentle beauty.
The interior, on the other hand, was given a Baroque makeover in the 18th century and jars the senses. The furnishings include a fanciful pulpit resembling a boat.
