Church of St. Casimir the Prince, Baroque church building in Old Town, Kraków, Poland.
The Church of St. Casimir features late Baroque altars from 1745 to 1748, with a prominent crucifix positioned at the high altar following Franciscan traditions.
In 1666, suffragan bishop Mikołaj Oborski laid the foundation stone for the current structure after the original church was destroyed during the Swedish Deluge.
The side altar houses an image of St. Casimir painted by Gdańsk artist Daniel Schultz between 1660 and 1670, representing Polish religious artistry.
The church catacombs, containing nearly 1,000 naturally mummified bodies, open to visitors annually on November 2nd during All Souls Day celebrations.
A historic bell from 1750, known as the 'bell for the dying,' rings exclusively when a death occurs in the monastery community.
