From 1680 to 1750, many highly ornate cathedrals, abbeys, and [[pilgrimage church]]es were built in Central Europe, Austria, Bohemia and southwestern Poland. Some were in [[Rococo]] style, a distinct, more flamboyant and asymmetric style which emerged from the Baroque, then replaced it in Central Europe in the first half of the 18th century, until it was replaced in turn by classicism.{{sfnp|Ducher|2014|p=92}}

The princes of the multitude of states in that region also chose Baroque or Rococo for their palaces and residences, and often used Italian-trained architects to construct them.<ref>Cabanne (1988), pp. 89–94.</ref>

A notable example is the [[St. Nicholas Church (Malá Strana)]] in Prague (1704–1755), built by [[Christoph Dientzenhofer]] and his son [[Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer]]. Decoration covers all of walls of interior of the church. The altar is placed in the nave beneath the central dome, and surrounded by chapels, light comes down from the dome above and from the surrounding chapels. The altar is entirely surrounded by arches, columns, curved balustrades and pilasters of coloured stone, which are richly decorated with statuary, creating a deliberate confusion between the real architecture and the decoration. The architecture is transformed into a theatre of light, colour and movement.<ref name="Ducher pages 106-107" />

In Poland, the Italian-inspired [[Baroque in Poland|Polish Baroque]] lasted from the early 17th to the mid-18th century and emphasised richness of detail and colour. The first Baroque building in present-day Poland and probably one of the most recognizable is the [[Saints Peter and Paul Church, Kraków]], designed by [[Giovanni Battista Trevano]]. [[Sigismund's Column]] in [[Warsaw]], erected in 1644, was the world's first secular Baroque monument built in the form of a column.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://culture.pl/pl/dzielo/kolumna-zygmunta-iii-wazy-w-warszawie|title=Kolumna Zygmunta III Wazy w Warszawie|website=Culture.pl|access-date=24 June 2019}}</ref> The palatial residence style was exemplified by the [[Wilanów Palace]], constructed between 1677 and 1696.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anothertravelguide.com/destinations/europe/poland/warsaw/culture/muzeji/wilanow_palace/|title=WILANÓW PALACE|website=www.anothertravelguide.com|access-date=24 June 2019}}</ref> The most renowned Baroque architect active in Poland was [[Dutch people|Dutchman]] [[Tylman van Gameren]] and his notable works include Warsaw's [[St. Kazimierz Church]] and [[Krasiński Palace]], [[Church of St. Anne, Kraków]] and [[Branicki Palace, Białystok]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.codart.nl/guide/agenda/tylman-z-gameren-architekt-warszawy-polak-z-wyboru-holender-z-pochodzenia/|title=Tylman z Gameren – architekt Warszawy: Polak z wyboru, Holender z pochodzenia |website=CODART|access-date=24 June 2019}}</ref> However, the most celebrated work of Polish Baroque is the [[Poznań Fara]] Church, with details by [[Pompeo Ferrari]]. After [[Thirty Years' War]] under the agreements of the [[Peace of Westphalia]] two unique baroque [[wattle and daub]] structures was built: [[Church of Peace in Jawor]], [[Holy Trinity Church of Peace in Świdnica]] the largest wooden Baroque temple in Europe.
