Abstract
The article is dedicated to the archaizing tendencies in Polish architecture of the 17th century. On the one hand, such tendencies can be considered as a result of the persistence of Late-Gothic tradition in provincial architecture. On the other hand, they can be interpreted as a conscious reference to the architectural heritage of the 13th-16th centuries, which is determined by various factors. Such references to Gothic are called ‘post-Gothic’ in Polish scientific literature. The Church of St. Hyacinth in Warsaw, built in 1605-1638, is one of the most prominent examples of such a phenomenon. The inclusion of diverse post-Gothic elements in the design of the church, as in other similar cases, was determined by the context of the Counter-Reformation and aimed at attesting the historical nature of the tradition of the Dominican Order.
