The Lord's Ark church (Arka Pana) was built in the years 1967-1977 according to the plans of the architect mgr. Eng. Wojciech Pietrzyk. The roof of the building makes the church look like not only the arch but also the chapel of Ronchamp, designed by Le Corbusier.
The Piarist Church is a sacred complex, along with the adjoining monastery of the Piarists. The late Rococo church was built in 1718-1761, and has clear references to the church of the Gesù, the mother church of the Jesuits.
The Wolf Popper (Bocian) Synagogue in Krakow is an Ashkenazi synagogue from 1620. The synagogue was restored throughout the 19th century and for the last time in 1904. This baroque stone synagogue now serves as a cultural centre.
The Remu Synagogue was first built in 1553 and called the New Synagogue to distinguish it from the Old Synagogue ( Stara Boznica). The first building was destroyed in a fire in 1557 and restored in stone in 1557 under plans by Stanislaw Baranek, a Krakow architect. The current building was restored in 1829 and again in 1933. The synagogue is in late Renaissance style and is still an active place of worship.
