Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Kraków, Neo-Gothic church in Kraków, Poland.
The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Neo-Gothic church building located in Kraków. The structure spans roughly 52 meters in length and features a prominent tower that rises approximately 68 meters above the surrounding cityscape.
Construction took place between 1909 and 1912, with the final consecration delayed until 1921 following World War I. This gap between completion and dedication reflects how major historical events affected the church's opening.
The main entrance features a stone sculpture by Xawery Dunikowski showing Christ with outstretched arms. This welcoming gesture creates an immediate sense of connection for those arriving to worship.
The building stands at Kopernika Street 26 and welcomes visitors throughout the day without any entry fee. This free access makes it easy to visit at a time that suits your schedule.
Above the high altar sits a roughly 30-meter mosaic frieze depicting Polish saints and rulers such as Ladislaus and Jagiełło. This artwork merges religious and national history into a visual element that catches the eye when gazing upward.
