Capuchin Church of the Transfiguration

13 Miodowa

About

The Capuchin Church was built in the 1680s, and later founded by King Jan III Sobieski as thanks for his victory over the Turks at Vienna in 1683. The church is quite modest inside and out, but includes the 'King's Chapel,' which holds an urn with the ashes of King August II Mocny and a 19th century sarcophagus containing the heart of King Jan III Sobieski. During the Christmas season, the children of Warsaw love to visit a remarkable mechanical nativity scene that is housed in the church's vaults.
