Church of St. Casimir (Kościół św. Kazimierza)

This Baroque church was designed by renowned architect Tylman of Gameren, and was built between 1688-1692 by John III Sobieski and his wife Maria Kazimiera. Like the Church of the Transfiguration on Miodowa Street, it was established as a thanksgiving for victory at the Battle of Vienna. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, it was a rebel hospital and a shelter for the civilian population. As a result of targetted bombing, hundreds of people were killed by falling rubble. The temple was rebuilt from its own ruins in the 1950s; worth seeing in the 18th-century pulpit, organ, bells, and a tomb of Princess Caroline of Sobieski de Bouillion from 1746.
