Chapel of St. Joseph in Kraków, Gothic Revival chapel in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland
The Chapel of St. Joseph is a Gothic Revival structure featuring two towers with architectural details resembling those of St. Mary's Basilica. The building displays characteristic pointed arches and decorative stonework typical of this style.
Construction began in 1905 to replace a smaller earlier church, with work continuing until 1909. The project reflected the period's movement to build larger religious structures in growing neighborhoods.
The interior displays carved wooden altars and painted pews decorated with biblical scenes that guide visitors through the space. Colored windows create a soft light that enhances the spiritual atmosphere within.
The chapel is located at Zamoyskiego Street 2 near Podgórze Market Square and remains open to visitors during religious services. It is easily accessible on foot and visitors can view the interior during regular worship times.
One of the two tower spires was intentionally kept lower by military authorities to prevent it from serving as a reference point for enemy forces. This unexpected constraint shows how military concerns influenced architectural planning during that era.
