Visitationist Church, Baroque church on Krakowskie Przedmieście, Warsaw, Poland
The church features a curved facade with Corinthian pilasters, a central pediment, and stone sculptures depicting religious figures and angels.
The Visitationist Church, built between 1728 and 1762, was designed by architect Carlo Antonio Bay and completed by Jakub Fontana.
The church holds musical importance as Frederic Chopin performed on its organ during Sunday masses while attending Warsaw Lyceum between 1825 and 1826.
The church maintains regular Catholic services and remains open to visitors, with main entrance accessible from Krakowskie Przedmieście street.
The church survived World War II intact and contains a memorial to poet-priest Jan Twardowski, featuring his last poem engraved on a prayer kneeler.
