St. Mary's Basilica, Kraków, Poland - 23rd May, 2014
Church of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven (also known as St. Mary's Church) is a Brick Gothic church re-built in the 14th century (originally built in the early 13th century), adjacent to the Main Market Square in Kraków, Poland. Standing 80 m (262 ft) tall, it is particularly famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz).
On every hour, a trumpet signal—called the Hejnał mariacki—is played from the top of the taller of St. Mary's two towers. The plaintive tune breaks off in mid-stream, to commemorate the famous 13th century trumpeter, who was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm before the Mongol attack on the city.
This film features footage of St. Mary's Basilica from both the outside and within. Outside shots highlight the architecture from the Market Square, the side and behind the building. Inside the elaborate gold and multi-coloured decor magnificently decorate this cavernous building.

St Mary's Church Krakow
???? Video subtitles available in ENG and ROM
“ Church of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven (also known as Saint Mary's Church Polish: Kościół Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny, Kościół Mariacki) is a Brick Gothic church adjacent to the Main Market Square in Kraków, Poland.
Built in the 14th century, its foundations date back to the early 13th century and serve as one of the best examples of Polish Gothic architecture. Standing 80 m (262 ft) tall, it is particularly famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz).
On every hour, a trumpet signal—called the Hejnał mariacki—is played from the top of the taller of Saint Mary's two towers. The plaintive tune breaks off in mid-stream, to commemorate a famous 13th-century trumpeter who was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm before a Mongol attack on the city. The noon-time hejnał is heard across Poland and abroad broadcast live by the Polish national Radio 1 Station.
Saint Mary's Basilica also served as an architectural model for many of the churches that were built by the Polish diaspora abroad, particularly those like Saint Michael's and Saint John Cantius in Chicago, designed in the Polish Cathedral style.
The church is familiar to many English-speaking readers from the 1929 book The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly.
According to chronicler Jan Długosz, Saint Mary's Basilica in the Main Square in Kraków was founded in 1221–22 by the Bishop of Kraków, Iwo Odrowąż. The building was destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Poland. Between 1290–1300 the new early Gothic church was built on the remaining foundations. It was consecrated twenty years later, in 1320.
The church was completely rebuilt during the reign of Casimir III the Great between 1355 and 1365
with substantial contributions from wealthy restaurateur Mikołaj Wierzynek.The presbytery was elongated and tall windows added.
The main body of the church was completed in 1395–97 with the new vault constructed by master Nicholas Wernher from Prague. However, the vault over the presbytery collapsed in 1442 due to a possible earthquake, which has never happened before nor since in Kraków.
On 18 April 2010, in Saint Mary's Basilica, a funeral ceremony for Polish President Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria was held. The coffins were later transported and buried in one of the crypts of Wawel Cathedral.

Take a tour of St. Mary's Basilica of Krakow in Poland -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Polish city of Krakow has practically grown up around St. Mary's Basilica.
This red brick church was completed by the 14th century, but some additions were made later.
The taller of the two towers, both topped by spires, is an impressive 262 feet tall.
A trumpet call sounds hourly to remember an attack by the Mongols on Krakow.
Veit Stoss, a famous sculptor, carved a stone crucifix into the church.
He also did the massive wood-carved altarpiece for which St. Mary's is famous.
St. Mary's Basilica is a piece of Krakow's history too beautiful to miss.

THE TRUMPETER of KRAKÓW. St. Mary's Trumpet Call. NEW FULL HD video.
BEAUTIFUL POLAND: Recorded from the highest tower of the St Mary's Basilica. Great sound and beautiful views of Old Town Kraków.
Hejnał Mariacki is played every hour on the hour, four times in succession in each of the four cardinal directions, by a trumpeter on the highest tower of the city's Saint Mary's. The noon performance is broadcast via radio to all of Poland and the world.
Special thanks to Mr. Trumpeter (does anyone know his name?) for a great performance and for greeting visitors from different countries despite the language barrier. This video is dedicated to you, sir.
Please note: It takes a lot of time and a significant effort to produce these videos. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed. Thank you!
