In 1726, as a result of extensions made to the royal
residence on the Krakowskie Przedmieście, the
Warsaw-based Order of St. John of God (Italian:
Aambc/re/ba^/b') were forced to sell part of their real
estate and thus relocate their monastery to another
site. The order signed a contract with architects
Antoni Solari (1700-1763) and Józef Fontana
(1676-1739) for the construction of a new church,
monastery and hospital on lands acquired in the
modern-day district of Muranów. The ensuing
design was never carried out in full, being limited to
the actual temple and small-scale wings attached to
it. The absence of a hospital ward of sufficient
proportions seriously hampered the monks in
carrying out their mission, in connection with which
a further enlargement ensued in accordance with the
design of Jakub Fontana (1710-1773). Of the
intended two three-storey buildings, the northern
extension was supposed to function as a hospital,
while the southern side accommodated a
pharmacists' and flats. The new buildings added
onto the previously raised wings gave rise to the
arrangement of a gradually receding elevation
centred on the axially placed church. However, not
even this later extension was ever fully carried
through until the second quarter of the 19th century,
and thus bearing a contrasting architectural form.
Jakub Fontana's design is recorded in a drawing
discovered by the author of this article originating
from 1760 which has served as a key source in
rereading the building history and design phases of
the monastery complex.
