Cathedral of St. Martin's and St. Nicholas

Reviewed By paullegate - St Ives, United Kingdom

On the riverside of Brda River is St. Martin and St. Nicholas Cathedral. It is a Catholic church which was built in the 15th Century and has a Gothic style and serves as a parish church and cathedral of the Diocese of Bydgoszcz. It was given cathedral status by Pope John Paul II in March 2004. Inside the cathedral it is very ornate and quite captivating. The cathedral is incredibly charming and is worth seeking out whilst in Bydgoszcz.

St Mary's Basilica

One of the most famous of Poland's churches, this Gothic structure features two striking towers of different heights and surprisingly richly decorated insight, mostly thanks to the vibrant polychromy by great Polish artist Jan Matejko. The greatest masterpiece is though the Main Altar by Veit Stoss - a late Gothic illustration for St. Mary's and Jesus life, including scenes of Mary's death and Assumption. Please note that the church, including Main Altar, is currently under long maintenance and renovation works, which may be of some inconvenience.

A most beautiful church and during the Christmas market period sands out like a beacon ,we had seen the film of the beautifully carved alter backdrop that the nazis stole in 1940 and was found in Nuremberg after the war , it was repaired ,restored and placed back in the church ,the Krakow square is a magical place ,but below it is a fantastic museum , that shouldn’t be missed ,

Church of St. Jacob Cathedral

Reviewed By podrozniczka60 - New Jersey, United States

This church originally was built in the second half of 14th century and it has castle-like appearance. It is a good example of Warmia Gothic architecture . It is located just a short walk from the old square.The beautiful interior includes Gothic, late-Renaissance, and Baroque art elements. The bronze 2000 door is the new addition and complements the much older character of the church. This beautiful house of worship features often organ concerts but the easiest way to hear it is during the mass. Masses take place here daily several times a day.

Bazylika Archikatedralna pw. sw. Jakuba Apostola

Reviewed By Rovingpublover - Great Malvern, United Kingdom

A stunning building, rebuilt post-war after the then German city of Stettin was heavily bombed in 1944. The interior is incredibly lofty and so large that an ordinary camera simply can't catch its immensity. Access is available for a requested charge of 2 Euros or 8 Zloty (Sep 2019), a bargain for the experience. Access to the tower is also available for a supplementary fee. Whether you have religious leanings or not, understand the Polish language or not, listening to a sung Eucharist is an extraordinary experience.

One of the nicest city sights in Karpacz. A Norwegian XII century wooden church is a charming place right at the gates of the National Park. Nice place to visit before going on a hike or on a lazy day
