Jesuit Church of Our Lady - one of the most beautiful churches in Warsaw. The temple is located in the Old City.

The church was founded by King Sigismund III at the initiative of Peter Skarga in 1609 for the Jesuits. Reliable information about the architect there, but historians suggest that the author of the project was made by Yang Frankievich, to build a church in the style of Polish Mannerist.

In 1640 Cardinal Charles Ferdinand Vasa gave the church a luxurious silver altar, which was stolen in 1656 by Swedish troops. In 1660 the church was opened pharmacy, which was used by all the inhabitants of Warsaw. After 8 years in the church began to hold lectures in theology and philosophy. In 1720, construction began on a two-story building in the back of the church on the initiative of Bishop Luis Bartholomew Zaluski. The new building will house a school, a pharmacy and a rich church library. In the following years the church has flourished: there was a rich baroque furniture, marble altar and new floors were built two chapels.

In 1773 the Jesuits were expelled from the church, the church became a parish school under the leadership of the National Education Commission. The Jesuits were able to return to the church of the Virgin Mary only in 1918. In the 20's and 30's was repaired, and only a decade later, the church was almost completely destroyed in the bombing during the Second World War. Construction of the new church lasted from 1950 to 1973. Of the original furnishings are preserved fragments of a tombstone of Jan Tarlo, an icon of the Mother of God, brought to Poland in 1651 by Bishop Juan de Torres as a gift from Pope Innocent X.

"Angel" doors were made in 2009 by sculptor Igor Mitoraj as a replica of the doors in the Roman church of Santa Maria del Angeli. The gift was timed to coincide with the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Church of the Virgin Mary.
