St. Andrew's Church

The church is built in Romanesque style and was built as a church-fortress, with towers and two defensive openings. It's characterized by openings at the bottom of much of the facade and defensive windows, it's own construction is part of it's defensive nature. It was built 1079-1098 and established in 1079 by Paladin Sieciech, therefore it's one of the oldest buildings in Krakow. In 1241 it resisted the Tatar raids and sheltering local residents. It has visual impact as the architectural style is quite different from the surrounding buildings, but it's certainly very nice.
