This small Gothic church, standing at the foot of the Wawel Hill, is traditionally said to be funded in the 11th century by Prince Władysław Herman but archeological research moves its beginnings to mid-14th century.

This early-Baroque church was built in 1637-1640 for Carmelite nuns. When they were moved to another convent in 1787, it was closed and put on sale. In 1816 the Senate of the Cracow Republic gave it to the protestants. In the raw interior you can see a classicist altar (1870) with a painting Calming the Storm at Sea by Henryk Siemiradzki and a precious wooden crucifix (late 14th century), the oldest remaining in Kraków churches.

The Gothic brick church was built here in 13th century for monks coming from Prague. Destroyed by the great fire of 1850, it was reconstructed in neo-Gothic style in 1850-1912.
