Skałka Church | Q Hotel Kraków

Skałka, which means "a small rock" in Polish, is a small outcrop in Kraków.

Church of St Michael the Archangel and St Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr and Pauline Fathers Monastery, Skałka, which means "a small rock" in Polish, is a small outcrop in Kraków where the Bishop of Kraków saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów was slain by order of Polish king Bolesław II the Bold in 1079. This action resulted in the king's exile and the eventual canonization of the slain bishop. Originally, a Romanesque church was built there. The crypt underneath the church serves as a "national Panthéon", a burial place for some of the most distinguished Poles, particularly those who lived in Kraków for example Jak Długosz, Stanisław Wyspiański, Jacek Malczewski and Czesław Miłosz.
