This Baroque church was once thought to be the site of a celebration of mass by Jan Sobieski, in 1683, before he lead his army down the Kahlenberg mountain to relieve Vienna from the Turkish siege. The church contains a chapel, named after the Polish Kin, which is now a Polish national shrine. The simple interior is adorned with a multitude of rosaries, pendants and Madonna and Child talismans; lucky charms which cover the walls from floor to ceiling.
