Church of St. Joseph Protection in Kraków, Gothic Revival church in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland.
The Church of St. Joseph Protection features an 80-meter clock tower and detailed masonry work with sculptures of saints on the exterior facade.
Construction of the church occurred between 1905 and 1909, replacing a smaller church that previously stood at the same location in Podgórze Market Square.
The interior contains multiple wooden altars and reflects the characteristic elements of Brick Gothic cathedral design, maintaining Polish religious architectural traditions.
Located at 2 Zamoyskiego Street, the church includes a surrounding park with benches and a children's play area for community gatherings.
Military authorities restricted the planned height of the tower to prevent it from becoming a potential reference point for enemy forces.
