The Church of St. Anna in Wilanów (Kościół św. Anny w Wilanowie) is a charming Baroque church located just a short walk from the Wilanów Palace complex in Warsaw. Built between 1772 and 1775 on the orders of Prince August Czartoryski, the church was designed to serve as a parish for the local noble estate and as a place of worship for the surrounding community.
Its elegant late Baroque architecture features a modest yet graceful façade, with decorative pilasters and a small bell tower. Inside, the church is adorned with stucco detailing, soft pastel tones, and beautiful altarpieces, including a notable depiction of St. Anne, the church’s patron saint.
Although more intimate than many of Warsaw’s grand churches, St. Anna’s holds an important place in the spiritual and cultural landscape of Wilanów. It has long been connected to the Wilanów Palace and its owners, including King John III Sobieski, whose legacy looms large in the area.
The church continues to function as an active parish, offering services, weddings, and local events. For visitors to Wilanów Palace, it offers a peaceful and reflective counterpoint—a chance to step into a quiet piece of history nestled in one of Warsaw’s most elegant districts.
