# Exterior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ARCHITECT, German]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The church of the Virgin in Cracow was until the 16th century the church of the city's German community. The steeply rising basilica is the result of expensive works in the 14th century carried out by the architect Niklas Werner. The west front, which has no buttresses has two towers, the northwest one belonging to the town and not the church. In 1478, a pinnacled parapet was added to this tower that is among the finest in Europe. The photo shows the northwest tower \(left\) of the church. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Baumburg Tower]() - [East view \(detail\)]() - [Exterior view \(detail\)]() - [Exterior view from the east]() - [Exterior view from the east]() - [Exterior view from the north-east]() - [Exterior view from the north-east]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
