Originally built for the nuns of the Carmelite Order in the middle of the 17th century, Krakow's best-known Protestant church in fact began as an institution of catholics.
However, in 1787, nuns were moved to some another monastery and the church (may not be deemed large enough) has been emptied and put up for sale.
Not very tempting piece of real estate, it has remained empty for nearly 30 years, when it was finally given by the authorities of the city to the protestants

The church's sparse, classicist interior features - rather unusually - an 1882 painting by Henryk Siemiradzki, depicting Jesus quieting a tempest.
