Baroque architecture

The Royal Palace at Wilanow in Warsaw, the Jesuit Monastery at Swieta Lipka in Masuria, and the Old Basilica at Bardo in Lower Silesia are all very different and very beautiful examples of the baroque style in Poland.

Baroque artists were often inspired by the theme of memento mori. One of them used three thousand human sculls to decorate the walls of the chapel at Czermna near Kudowa Zdroj! Incredible but true!
