The Chapel of St. Margaret and St. Jude in Salwator

Kraków - Salwator gmina: Kraków |
The Chapel of St. Margaret and St. Jude in Salwator belongs to the complex of buildings connected to St. Norbert’s Convent. It was built in 1689-90 on the initiative of Justyna Oraczewska, then the prioress of the convent. In the second half of the 1980s renovation work replaced the shingled wall covering from the 1950s with vertical boarding. The baroque chapel was based on an octagon. The octagonal copula with a lantern is covered with shingles. The fittings of the chapel are: an early-baroque main altar from the first half of the C17th which came from the neighbouring St. Salvator’s Church, and a side altar from St. Adalbert’s Church. |
