Church of St. Francis de Sales in Kraków, Baroque church at Plac Wszystkich Świętych, Kraków, Poland.

The Church of St. Francis de Sales features polychromatic walls, stained glass windows, and a main altar that exemplifies traditional Baroque religious architecture.

Duke Boleslaw V the Chaste established the church in the early 13th century, and it underwent multiple reconstructions after fires in the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 19th centuries.

The church maintained its position as the bishop's church during World War II when Wawel Cathedral closed, serving the religious needs of the local population.

Visitors can access the church daily from 6:00 AM to 7:45 PM, with free admission and restrictions on sightseeing during religious services.

The church contains a certified replica of the Shroud of Turin, measuring 4.36 by 1.10 meters, which Pope John Paul II consecrated in 2003.
