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.
6. Gizycko Water Tower
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 238 reviews
The Water Tower is closed until April. It was built in 1900 entirely of red unplastered bricks in the neo-gothic style with interesting external vaulting around its crown and two coats of arms over the entrance: one Mazurian and one municipal to emphasise its being part of the region. The water reservoir in the tower distributed water to all the dwellings for 97 years. Nowadays, following the great reconstruction of the interior and adding a dome and three additional floors and extending the viewing platform with telescopes, the tower has become Giżycko’s most unique tourist attraction. To reach the top, one has to climb 129 steps (or use the lift). The highest floor of the tower is 162 m above sea level and it houses a café. From this height, one can truly appreciate the panorama of the town and the surrounding areas with lakes and forests – a typical Mazurian landscape. The inside the tower houses the local museum with exhibits that illustrate the past life of the local people.

There are a few ways to book this boat ride and there are different lengths of time in the boat. The most popular one is the 4.5 hour ride which to us seemed like really long time on the boat so instead of taking the boat in Elblag, we drove 30 minutes to Pochylnia Buczyniec from where you can take other shorter options AND also you can also simply see the hydraulic system working without having to ride the boat. If you go to Pochylnia Buczyniec as we did come prepared since there are no restaurants but only a couple of food trucks with ice cream and beers and snacks so come with a full belly. When making the research for this trip we tried booking though their website and the info was not really clear so we decided to drive and see for ourselves...for example on the web page there were no more spaces available for the ride from Elblag but when we walked into their office they simply offered tickets to the next boat ride...so it could be possible to come without booking. To be fair we came right before the start of the season so for sure there were fewer people than normal. In any case I fully recommend!
