==Erection of churches== [[File:Gmina Inowłódz, Poland - panoramio (20).jpg|thumb|right|[[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] interior of the Church of St. Giles at [[Inowłódz]], in central Poland.]] Władysław founded several churches in Poland. Most notably he was the founder of the [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] [[Wawel Cathedral]] of which the Silver Bells Tower still remains standing. He was also very fond of Saint Giles (Polish: Idzi) to whom he founded no less than three churches: in [[Kraków]], [[Inowłódz]] and Giebułtów. This is attributed to the fact that while his first wife was finally pregnant after six years of childless marriage, the Duke sent rich gifts to the [[Benedictine]] monastery of [[Saint-Gilles, Gard|Saint Gilles]] in southern France, begging for a healthy child. When a son was born, Wladyslaw began building churches in his honor. According to legend, he also founded a [[Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Krakow|church "on the sand"]] dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was later granted to the [[Carmelites]].{{No source|date=January 2025}}
