The Church of All Saints (Polish Kościół Wszystkich Świętych ) in Kraków was a Catholic church on the pl. Wszystkich Świętych in the central part of Kraków's Old Town at the intersection of ul. Grodzka and ul. Franciszkańska .
history
It was donated around 1200 by the knight Jakub Bobola Leliwa . After a fire in 1305, the church was expanded as a two-aisled basilica in the Gothic style. In 1490 the Leliwa family made another foundation for the church and this was expanded as a collegiate foundation. In 1591 a bell tower was added in the mannerist style. In 1607 and 1612 synods were held in the church, which were depicted on its walls in the form of frescoes after the church was baroque in the 18th century. The altarpiece of All Saints was created by Szymon Czechowicz around 1763 . In the 19th century the parish of All Saints was transferred to the Jesuit church and the church was demolished in the years 1835–1838. The bell tower stood until 1842. The name of the square pl. Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints' Square) goes back to the church.
