Description
English: The Church of St. Andrew in the Old Town district of Kraków, located at Grodzka Street, is a Romanesque church built between 1079-1098 by a medieval statesman Palatine Sieciech. It is one of the oldest existing buildings in Kraków. The present arrangement of the façade dates back to the 12th and 13th century. The Baroque domes atop the octagonal towers were added in 1639. The Baroque interiors (decorations by Baltazar Fontana, paintings by Karol Dankwart) are in marked contrast to the cruder defensive facade of the church.

The Church of St. Andrew had been important for the defence of the city before the new city walls were built. It is said to be the only church in Kraków to withstand the Mongol attack of 1241.

Since 1320, the church has belonged to the Convent of Poor Clares
