St . Agnes Church - historic, baroque, Roman Catholic church, at 30 Józefa Dietla Street, in Stradom, Krakow. It serves as a garrison church. [...] Subsequent partitions of Poland brought degradation of the building. As a result of the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Krakow was annexed by Austria and in 1801 the church was converted into a warehouse. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building was in private hands and housed a scrap iron store. In 1906 the Society of Lovers of the History and Monuments of Cracow initiated a campaign to buy it out of private hands. However, this did not happen due to the lack of favor from the Austrian authorities. It succeeded only in 1926.Three years later the church was given to a military parish, which restored it to worship in 1932. During World War II, German occupiers handed it over to evangelicals, but after the war it was returned to its rightful owners. (Wikipedia).
