Chapel of St. Joseph in Kraków, Gothic Revival chapel in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland

The Chapel of St. Joseph stands with two towers, incorporating architectural elements similar to those found in St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków.

The construction of the religious structure began in 1905, replacing a previous smaller church, and the building process continued until 1909.

The interior features numerous wooden altars, decorated benches, and stained glass windows that illustrate different biblical narratives throughout the space.

The Chapel maintains regular religious services and remains open to visitors, with access from 2 Zamoyskiego Street near Podgórze Market Square.

Military authorities restricted the height of one tower during construction to prevent it from becoming a potential reference point for enemy forces.
