The church of the XVI century, which also could not escape the fate of being destroyed during the Second World War. In the middle of the 19th century, a statue of the cross carrying Jesus stood in front of the temple. The church is notable for the fact that in one of its walls there is an urn with the ashes of Frederic Chopin. In the XX century, the temple was completely rebuilt, but work on the external and internal decoration continued into the 21st century.

A beautiful building with rich culture and style.
The art and quality of the church were incredibly and it was stunning to visit.

Breathtaking church that's a must see. Magnificent altars and decoration. Chopin's heart is inside one of the pillars. It's free entry and is just outside of old town.

As there was a mass going on at the time I didn't want to walked all over the church and disrupt the solemnity. But I saw the column where Chopins heart is interred, and said a few prayers in a back pew.

Chopin's heart rests according to his wish to be brought back to Poland. The story says that his wife brought it after his death in a jar of vodka under her dress all the way from Paris.

A lovely church on the main street in Warsaw.
A special church as this is where Frederick Chopin's heart is.
It is not far from a room that the Chopin's rented when they lived in Warsaw.
