Camaldolese Church, dating from the 17th–18th centuries and situated among the buildings of the hermitage in the Bielanski Forest, is one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Warsaw.

The monastery site was selected by the monks themselves, in accordance with the rules they stuck to: outside the city, in a remote area, on a hill, within a wooden area. They found a place on the area of former village near Warsaw (now a district called Bielany).
The monastery complex consists of a gate, church (a dominating building within the complex), 13 hermitages and foresterium.

In 1643 the monks were brought to wooden buildings, which were gradually replaced by the brick ones. In the years 1647-1651, 9 hermitages were built and in 1733 the last one out of the existing 13 hermitage houses was erected. Hermitages, that is, houses with a garden at the front, surrounded by a wall, each of which was dedicated to one monk, were built according to strict monastic rules.

Construction of the church began in 1670 on the site where an old wooden chapel formerly stood. Its founder was Polish king Michal Korybut Wisniowiecki, whose heart has been laid to rest inside the temple. The church was designed by Italian architect Isidoro Affaitati. On the façade there are the arms of the Republic and of the cloister.

Now the historic complex is surrounded by contemporary buildings housing archdiocese institutions and the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University.
