Unbelievably beautiful church. Not to be missed, you will not regret it. Even if you are not religious, you should go to see what religion used to be like and how opulent the churches were as a result of the taxes they imposed.

I am not a great church tourist, but the interiors of Corpus Christi are stunning. It's located near the main square of Kazimierz so it's hard to miss. Do take 30min min. to walk around to admire all the details, painting etc.

A beautiful church with a stunning interior. We waited until Mass was finished out of courtesy. The pulpit in the shape of a boat is wonderful.

Peaceful and serene,located in Kazimierz.Whilst on a city tour the guide recomended this church as the finest in Kracow and it did not dissapoint. The main feature is the pulpit carved inthe shape of a beautifully carved gold plated boat symbolising noahs ark. The spires,alters,paintings and unique goldplated woodcarvings made a visit to this church a unique experience. The fact... More

This is a beautiful church and we were stunned by the detail and artwork. Lit a candle as we have both recently lost our mothers very tranquil and peaceful and the nativity was lovely

Many people visiting Kazimierz district for the first time expect just the Jewish sites. And as fascinating as these are one has to remember that this former seperate town used to be home to both Christian and Jewish Poles sharing the place peacefully for hunderds of years - hence Corpus Christi, Saint Catherine gothic basilicas and the Skałka Monastery located...

Maybe in Kaziermierz and not Jewish, but what a church. Its immense and some wonderful alters and historical artefacts. Whilst KAz may be the capital of the Jewish area of Krakow, do not miss this one.

One of the oldest churches in Krakow. The Alter is amazing, though sadly it was being renovated at the time of our visit. Look for unusual font in the shape of a boat and when the sun came through the stained glass it lit up brilliantly

This is one of the three most amazing, breath taking churches in Krakow, which takes some doing! An easy stroll from Wawel Hill, this is close to the heart of Kazimierz. Older than St Mary's, it was started in the 15th century and is presently undergoing renovations at the head of the altar. It has soaring exquisite Gothic arches, and... More
