Young Fryderyk sang in the parish church choir. In 1825, a concert took place here to celebrate Tsar Alexander I’s arrival to Warsaw; during the performance, the 15-year-old Chopin improvised on the choraleon (an instrument designed by Karl Brunner). The classicist church is reminiscent of the shape of the Roman Pantheon, and the highest turret was once of Warsaw’s most beautiful viewing points. It was destroyed during World War II, but it has been faithfully restored. The interior has not lost its excellent acoustics, so like in the days of Chopin, concerts are still organised here.
