Kościół św. Gertrudy w Krakowie, Medieval church ruin site near Sienna Street, Kraków, Poland
The church stood near the New Gate, surrounded by marshlands and low meadows frequently flooded by the Rudawa and Vistula rivers.
Mikołaj Wierzynek constructed the church between 1429 and 1432 to commemorate his father Andrzej, who was executed without confession in 1406.
The church grounds contained a cemetery where executed prisoners were buried until the city lost its right to capital punishment in 1796.
The building operated as a square structure with a rectangular presbytery, an apse, and three altars before its demolition in 1822.
The Gothic polyptych from Saint Gertrude's Church now resides in Saint Nicholas Church, while the street name preserves its memory.
