The Temple of Divine Providence (Polish: Świątynia Opatrzności Bożej) and Pantheon of Great Poles (in Polish, Panteon Wielkich Polaków, in southern Warsaw's Wilanów district, is a principal Roman Catholic church in Poland. The backstory of its construction began in the 18th century. The Temple is conceived as a national and religious symbol for Poland. The complex comprises the Church of Divine Providence, the Museum of John Paul II and Primate Wyszyński, and the Pantheon of Great Poles. The Center of Divine Providence commemorates Poland as a country with a Roman Catholic majority and links providential events in Poland's history over the past 200 years with their putative divine inspiration: the Constitution of May 3, 1791; the 1918 rebirth of independent Poland; the 1920 "Miracle at the Vistula"; the August 1980 founding of the Solidarity movement; the next resumption of independence, in 1989; and the pastoral ministry of Stefan Wyszynski and the pontificate of Pope John Paul II. The Center is a votive church for 1,000 years of Poland's Christianity.

St. Anne Collegiate Church
St. Anne Collegiate Church

The St. Anne Collegiate Church (Polish: Kolegiata św. Anny), until 1998 known as the St. Anne Church (Polish: Kościół św. Anny), is a Renaissance Revival Roman Catholic collegiate and parish church in Warsaw, Poland, within the Wilanów district at 1 Kolegiacka Street. It is the seat of the Parish of Saint Anne, who, according to the Christian tradition, was the mother of Mary of Nazareth, and maternal grandmother of Jesus Christ. The Roman Catholic parish was present in Wilanów from the 13th century, originally named after Saint Nicholas, and since 16th century, after Saint Nicholas and Saint Anne. In the 17th century, the St. Leonard Church, was built in the current location, as a wooden structure. It was replaced by the St. Anne Church, which was constructed from bricks between 1772 and 1775. It was designed by Jan Kotelnicki, and funded by August Aleksander Czartoryski, a nobleman, politician, military officer and owner of the Wilanów Estate. The church was rebuilt and expanded between 1857 and 1870 in the Renaissance Revival style. The new building was designed by Enrico Marconi, in cooperation with Leonard Marconi and Jan Huss, and commissioned by Aleksandra Potocka and August Potocki, the owners of the Wilanów Estate. It was consecrated in 1880, and dedicated in 1884. The building was demaged during the First and Second World Wars, and restored in the 1980s. In 1998, it was elevated to the status of a collegiate church.
