About Church of St. Bernardino of Siena, Kraków

The Church of St. Bernardino of Siena (Polish: Kościół św. Bernardyna ze Sieny), known colloquially as the Bernardines Church (Polish: Kościół bernardynów) is a historic Roman Catholic conventual church and monastery of the Bernardines located at 2 Bernardyńska Street in Stradom, the former district of Kraków, Poland.

The first church and monastery, built in the mid-15th century, were the earliest seats of the Observant Franciscans in Poland, known as the Bernardines after the church. Destroyed during the Swedish Deluge, the complex was rebuilt as a Baroque temple in the years 1659–1680 according to the design of Krzysztof Mieroszewski.
