Wilanów Niski
Wilanów Niski

Wilanów Niski (Polish: [viˈla.nuf ˈɲis.ki]; lit. 'Low-rise Wilanów') is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, within the Wilanów district. It is a low-rise single family residential area. The neighbourhood also includes the Warsaw Mosque, which belongs to the Sunni Islam denomination, and is one of the mosques in the city, and the Media Business Centre, an office building, which forms the headquarters, recording studio, and broadcasting station of the TVN Group television network. Together with the areas of Wilanów Królewski and Wilanów Wysoki, Wilanów Niski forms the neighbourhood of Stary Wilanów (lit. 'Old Wilanów'). The oldest records of Wilanów, known until the 16th century as Milanów, date to the 13th century. In 1338, the settlement became a property of duke Trojeden I, the ruler of the Duchy of Czersk, and was later given to knight Stanisław of Strzelczyków in the second half of the century. In 1677, the village was acquired by John III Sobieski, the king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, who, between 1681 and 1696, built nearby his residence, in the form of the Wilanów Palace, designed by Augustyn Wincenty Locci in the Baroque style. The estate was later owned by Czartoryski, Lubomirski, Potocki, and Branicki families. In 1864, Wilanów became the seat of the eponymous municipality, which also included the surrounding settlements. It was incorporated into Warsaw in 1951.

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.
