Franciscan Church, Franciszkanska 2<br />

see map for details<br />

(Cited from www.cracow-life.com)<br />

The Franciscan Order arrived in Cracow in 1237. A monastery<br />

was founded on this site, and in 1260 work began on a church.<br />

Whilst there is plenty of interesting history behind this church, it<br />

was a disaster that gave rise to its greatest legacy. In 1850 a fire<br />

tore its way through the Old Town, causing major damage to a<br />

host of buildings. The Franciscan Church was amongst several<br />

that were gutted, and rebuilding had to begin from scratch. This<br />

was done in the Gothic style, to mirror the former design. Amongst<br />

the most striking features of the church are the stained glass windows.<br />

Bold and visionary, they are a world away from the staid<br />

traditions of the medieval era. Most famous is the huge ‚Let it Be‘,<br />

which stands above the Western entrance.<br />

For centuries the Franciscans held the special right of pardon over<br />

those under the death sentence. However, in contrast with the<br />

radically innovative art of the interior, today the church is notable<br />

for its conservatism. The Dominican, on the other hand, which lies<br />

just across the road, has a liberal reputation and is popular with<br />

students.<br />

The experience of the Franciscan church is naturally at its most<br />

spellbinding during Mass, when the aroma of incense hangs in the<br />

guest and social programme<br />

air, and the lights do full justice to the brilliance of Wyspianski’s designs.<br />

The chief chorister, a sterling member of the fairer sex, has<br />

a highly uplifting voice that makes a very powerful impact. There<br />

are also regular concerts here – and what a fine venue – for this is<br />

certainly a church in a million.<br />
