Saint Mark church in Krakow, Gothic church building near Main Market Square, Krakow, Poland

Located on Sławkowska Street, Saint Mark Church features a late-Renaissance main altar piece and a heart-shaped pulpit displaying marks insignia.

The church's foundation dates to 1295 when Prince Bolesław invited twelve Canon Regulars of the Penance to establish a wooden structure at this location.

A medieval wooden cross inside the church holds significance as the place where Christ reportedly spoke to Blessed Michał Giedroyć during his prayers.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and houses the Congregation of Sisters of Saint Jadwiga, who assist with catechumenate and sacramental preparation.

The interior contains a preserved tombstone of Blessed Michał from the 17th century and a statue of Michael the Archangel by Baltazar Fontana.
