This beautiful church in the characteristic Gdańsk style was built towards the end of the 17th century over a few years (more precisely from 1678 to 1681) on the initiative of King Jan III Sobieski and Primate Andrzej Olszowski. It was commissioned to provide a new place of worship for Catholics after the loss of Our Lady, granted to the city's Protestants. As a result, it is also the only Baroque church in Gdańsk, but unfortunately it can no longer be visited and can only be seen at the time of masses and other religious episodes.

Histoire de l'église
En 1677, le primat de Pologne Andrzej Olszowski est décédé à Gdańsk, qui a écrit dans son testament 80 000 PLN pour la construction du temple, qui devait être remis aux catholiques.
L'idée a été soutenue par le roi Jan III Sobieski, qui a fait don de 20 000 PLN.
Les travaux ont commencé le 21 juillet 1678.
Construction du temple Le Saint-Esprit et Saint. Jean-Baptiste à la mémoire du roi Jan III Sobieski et Saint André l'Apôtre, patron du défunt primat,
ou communément appelé la chapelle royale, fut achevé le 10 mai 1681.
La chapelle n'a été consacrée que deux ans plus tard par l'évêque Bonaventure de Niedzielsk Madalinski, qui a également consacré l'église le 14 octobre 1685.
