Zamość was founded in 1580 by [[Jan Zamoyski]], [[Chancellor (Poland)|Grand Chancellor of Poland]], who envisioned an [[ideal city]]. The historical centre of Zamość was added to the [[UNESCO]] [[UNESCO World Heritage Site|World Heritage List]] in 1992, following a decision of the sixteenth ordinary session of the [[World Heritage Committee]], held between 7 and 14 December 1992 in [[Santa Fe, New Mexico]], United States; it was recognized for being "a unique example of a [[Renaissance in Poland|Renaissance town]] in Central Europe".<ref name="unesco.org">{{cite web |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/564 |title=Old City of Zamość |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |date=2009-09-23 |access-date=2011-09-15}}</ref>

The Redemptorists' Church of St. Nicholas is the former Orthodox church built in 1618–1631. The project was drafted by Jan Jaroszewicz whereas the decorations were designed by Jan Wolff. The domed temple had a defensive purpose. In the 1690s a {{convert|38|m|ft|adj=mid|-tall}} tower with a Baroque dome was added. The building has features typical of [[Moldavia]]n Orthodox churches and Latin architecture.<ref name="zamosc.pl"/>

[[Tomasz Zamoyski]], the second entailer, and his wife Katarzyna built the [[Franciscan Church, Zamość|Franciscan Church]] Dedicated to The Annunciation in the Baroque style. The biggest temple in Zamość (56 metres long and 29 metres wide), it was regarded as one of the most prominent 17th-century churches in Poland. It was embellished with a very rich décor by Jan Michał Link. In 1784 the Austrians closed down the [[Franciscan Order]] and as a result the church lost its sacral function for many years, housing a cinema and secondary school. In 1993 the building was restored as a church again.<ref name="zamosc.pl"/>
