Greek Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Kraków
Greek Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Kraków, Baroque Greek Catholic church in Kraków, Poland
The stone religious building features twin entrances, with one portal facing the Planty park and another entrance from Wiślna Street.
Built between 1636 and 1643 for Norbertine sisters, the church passed to Greek Catholic ownership after Austrian authorities dissolved the monastery in 1803.
The church interior contains a reconstructed iconostasis with paintings by Jan Matejko and his student Władysław Rossowski, representing Byzantine Catholic traditions.
Located at Karola Olszewskiego 43, the church maintains regular services for the Greek Catholic community and welcomes visitors throughout the week.
The exterior wall displays a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Great Famine in Ukraine, connecting the church to Ukrainian heritage.
