Church of St. Casimir in Kraków, Religious monument in Old Town, Kraków, Poland.

The Church of St. Casimir exhibits modern architecture with a plain white exterior and contains multiple late Baroque altars from the 1740s.

The current structure, designed by architect Franciszek Mączyński, replaced an earlier church that Swedish forces destroyed during their invasion of Poland.

The church maintains a traditional bell on its outer wall, which rings specifically when a member of the Franciscan Order approaches death.

The underground catacombs open to visitors once per year on November 2nd, during the All Souls Day celebrations.

The church catacombs contain approximately 1,000 naturally mummified bodies, including 250 monks buried directly in the earth without coffins.
