📖

Full description

St. Andrew's Church is one of the oldest churches in Poland, built in the late 11th century as a conventual church for the Order of Saint Clare.

Its thick stone walls reflect a dual role as house of worship and fortification. The facade mixes stone types, and baroque steeples were added later.

Inside are a convent and an 18th-century organ. It sits on pedestrian-only, cobbled Grodzka Street and takes about 15 minutes to visit.

It suits travellers who want to see Romanesque architecture rather than the Gothic and Baroque styles found elsewhere in the Old Town.
