Nice church keeping the hearth of Chopin Jul 22, 2008

In my opinion, the Holy Cross is one of the nicer churches of Warsaw. Build in the late 17th century, to replace an old and small wooden chapel, this Roman Catholic building is probably most famous because the hearth of Chopin is kept here.

As almost every building in Warsaw this church was blown away almost completely during the WOII. Yet it was, although simplified, rebuild afterwards.

The Holy Cross is an important church in Warsaw. Several important burials had place here in the past, as many artists, painters and musicians had their funerals here.

Nearby was the Holy Cross Church, where Chopin's his heart is buried. Second pilar on the left if I'm not mistaken. I walked further north, past Warsaw University, the presidential palace and a multitude of churches. It seemed like there was a church for ever 100 people… Warsaw, day 2...
