Jesuit Church, Mannerist church in Old Town, Poland.
The Jesuit Church is a brick building displaying mannerist design on Świętojańska Street in Warsaw's Old Town. Its facade and interior spaces follow religious architectural traditions, with the structure organized around a central sanctuary for worship and prayer.
Construction started in 1609 under architect Jan Frankievič, with the building dedicated to the Nativity of Mary in 1626. Multiple religious orders took over its care through the following centuries as religious communities changed.
The church serves as a gathering place for prayer and reflection in Warsaw's Old Town, drawing both residents and visitors to its interior spaces. Its role in the neighborhood remains centered on spiritual practice rather than tourism or spectacle.
The church is located in Warsaw's Old Town and reached via public transportation serving the historic district. Visitors should note this is an active place of worship, so access may be limited during services or special observances.
The interior layout remained largely unchanged through centuries of different religious communities using the space. This continuity is relatively rare among historic church buildings and reflects how the original design met multiple generations' needs.
