The church o f Christ the Saviour in N ow y Wiśnicz was founded as a votive for the victory at Chocim (1621) and, at the same time, erected as a family mausoleum in the years 1 6 2 2 -1 6 3 9 by Stanisław Lubomirski. Unfortunately, together with the Carmelite monastery it was closed in 1783 by the Austrians and then, as a chapel, made part o f one o f the harshest prisons in Galicia and independent Poland. In 1 9 4 1 -1 9 4 4 , during the German occupation, the building was pulled down, leaving only the outer walls up to a height o f 8 -1 0 meters, the treasury, the sacristy, the chapel standing over it, and the crypts, together with the subterranean Holy Cross sepulchral chapel. After the war, the crypts were filled with earth and the few extant fragments o f the outfitting scattered. The church was not been included into the group o f Polish cross-copula churches-mausolea due to the absence o f a co pula and the fact that the ruins remained within the prison. The copula had not been built as a result o f monastic rules and, predominantly, because the monastery was surrounded by bastion fortifications within which it could have become a threat for the defenders. The mausoleum with a subterranean family crypt was situated at the crossing o f the naves. Here, in the underground part o f the chapel, similarly to family mausolea in the collegiate church in Żołkiew, the Bernardine churches in Rzeszow and Sierakow and the parish church in Kodeń, funeral rites were performed for the souls o f the departed members o f the family. The erection o f a mausoleum next to a church belonging to a contemplative order was to guarantee special religious care for the deceased, as in the case o f the most magnificent European mausoleum o f the Spanish Habsburgs in the Escorial or the mausolea in Rzeszow and Sierakow.
