St. Anne's Church, Gothic church near Castle Square, Warsaw, Poland
The Neoclassical facade of St. Anne's Church stands next to Castle Square, featuring twin bell towers and intricate architectural details on its exterior walls.
Founded in 1454 by Duchess Anna Fiodorowna of Masovia, the church underwent transformations through centuries, with architect Piotr Aigner designing its current facade in 1788.
The church maintains its position as the central parish for Warsaw's academic community, connecting education and religious traditions in the city center.
The bell tower observation deck opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, offering views across Warsaw's Old Town rooftops for an entrance fee of 10 złoty.
In 1949, the church nearly collapsed due to the construction of the Trasa W-Z tunnel, requiring 400 workers to stabilize its foundations within two weeks.
