Jan Małachowski (1623-1699) was Bishop of Chełmno (1676-1681), Bishop of Kraków (1681-1699), and Vice-Chancellor to the Crown.[1]
Life
Małachowski spent his early years serving in the military under Stanisław Rewera Potocki. He was married, but when his wife died, he joined the clergy.[2]
In the 1680s, Małachowski was active in Bodzentyn, organizing a popular mission there.[3]
In 1695, Małachowski founded a church and convent for the Visitation Sisters in Kraków.[4] The Order of the Visitation had been previously brought to Warsaw from France by Queen Louise.
Małachowski is known to have collected large tapestries, some of which he donated to the cathedral in Kraków.[5]
Małachowski was buried in the crypt underneath the cathedral in Kraków.[6]
Legacy
The cathedral in Kraków contains a memorial to Małachowski that features a bronze bust. The memorial is near the altar of St. Stanislaus.[6]
