The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and of St. Joseph, commonly known as the Carmelite Church, stands at Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw. Built beginning in 1681 by architects Isidoro Affaitati and Efraim Szreger, this brick structure blends Baroque, Rococo, and Classicism. The church assumed much of its present appearance over the following century, acquiring a notable neoclassical-style façade between 1761 and 1783—among Warsaw's finest examples of the style. The building is best distinguished by its twin belfries, distinctively shaped like censers. Recognized as both a provincial and municipal immovable monument in Poland, the Carmelite Church represents an important layer of Warsaw's religious and architectural heritage.
