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.

Wilanów Królewski

Wilanów Królewski (Polish: [viˈla.nuf kruˈlɛf.ski]; lit. 'Royal Wilanów') is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, within the Wilanów district. Its northeast portion is a residential area with low-rise single-family housing. The neighbourhood features the Wilanów Palace, a Baroque royal residence, built in 1696, for John III Sobieski, the king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Currently it houses the King John III Museum in Wilanów, and includes a large Italian garden, with an area of 24 ha, known as the Wilanów Garden. The area also includes the St. Anne Collegiate Church, a Renaissance Revival Roman Catholic parish church dating to 1870, and the Poster Museum, a branch of the Warsaw National Museum, dedicated to the history of the poster design. Northeastern portion of the neighbourhood features the Morysin landscape park and nature reserve, majority of which is covered by a riparian forest. It also includes the Wilanów Lake and Wilanówka river. Together with the areas of Wilanów Niski and Wilanów Wysoki, Wilanów Królewski 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 the 14th century, a Roman Catholic church eas built in the village. 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 there 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. Between 1772 and 1775, the St. Anne Church was built next to the palace, replacing the former Roman Catholic temple in the village. It was later rebuilt between 1857 and 1870 in the Renaissance Revival style. In 1805, the King John III Museum in Wilanów was founded in the palace complex, becoming the second public museum in Poland. In the 19th century, a large park complex known as Morysin, was developed to the east of the Wilanów Palace, in a riparian forest. In 1864, Wilanów became the seat of the eponymous municipality, which also included the surrounding settlements. In 1892, the Warszawa Wilanów railway station was opened in the village, as part of the Wilanów Railway, which operated until 1971. In 1945, the Wilanów Palace, together with its landed estate, were nationalised by the Polish government. Wilanów was incorporated into Warsaw in 1951. In 1962, the Poster Museum was founded in Wilanów, becoming the first museum in the world, dedicated to the poster design.
