St. Joseph's Church was built in the years 1905-1909 according to a design by Jan Sas-Zubrzycki. It replaces a church built in 1832, which was in a poor state of repair at the end of the 19th century. The church has a Gothic Revival style inspired by the Vistula Gothic, which is considered to be the manifestation of a true national architectural style of Poland. The tower is modelled on the tower of St. Mary's Church in Krakow.
The Roman Catholic Church of St. Benedict is the smallest church in Kraków. It was founded in the year 1000 and was originally in the form of a rotunda. The present building is the result of interventions in the 15th and 16th centuries. Recent archaeological works revealed 37 burials outside the church and 29 inside.
The Church of Corpus Christi is a Roman Catholic Gothic basilica founded around 1340 as a wooden church. It was rebuilt in brick a few decades later, in 1385.
The Wysoka Synagogue resides in the Kazimierz District of Kraków, Poland, and is also referred to as the High Synagogue due to the upstairs location of the prayer room. It was built between 1556 and 1563 in a Renaissance style. It is now inactive following World War II.
