St. Catherine's Church

Quick visit. Free entrance

Great example of one of the few Polish Gothic brick churches in Gdańsk.

Attended 8 am mass here. Carmelite order of monks/priests serve the parish. Beautiful church. Small attendance of older folks. Communion served on tongue on your knees- lovely.

The former parish, brick church of the Old Town was built in 14th century. Here Hevelius was church administrator and here is also his final resting place. You can find his tomb at the rear behind the altar along with an epitaph funded by his grandson nearly 100 years after the great man's death. Unfortunately in 2006 was great fire, which resulted in the ceiling collapsing, work to restore the church took a number of years.

One of the most beautiful churches in Gdansk. Built in 13th century. The tower (not really a spire) is 76m high. Great astronomer Hevelius is buried here, you can also find some other baroque sarcophagi.

You might want to notice two unique things - a Madonna of Bolszowiec painting covered with gold and silver and carillon from 17th century. There are 50 bells still used for beautiful concerts that can be listened to especially during the summer.

Very Nice view from the top of the Church, and you could walk round the spiers. There is also a clock-museum on the way up😊

Beautiful Church, free entrance👍😎

Just a quick note to say that this church appeared to be closed at 12pm noon on a Saturday (December 2021). Not sure if this was due to Covid or construction or what, but wanted to offer a heads up for anyone making a special trip. St Bridget’s church (just around the corner…with the world’s largest amber altar) WAS open, however.

Rough, ruined but tranquil. Huge effort to reconstruct. Lovingly restored. Moving services full of spiritual meaning, full of young people. Inspiring!

Very old and huge church. But after fire. So looks really very old. In basement can be found cemetery with real coffins and bones around.

The place burned a while ago and is all reconstructed.
I recommend to go on the top of the tower for the clock museum and beautiful panoramic view of Gdansk (no lift so be careful with kids and old people )

Tower including a set of 50 bells. Playing everyday a different song. Inside the museum of the Clock. Panorama view. And the first Pulsar clock of the world.

Magnificent church, worth the visit

An amazing brick built catch in Wismar, Germany. You can even get a guided tour into the roof arches.

Completed in 1227–1239 this brick Gothic church is the oldest one in Gdansk. It was a Protestant church from 1545 until the end of World War II in 1945, after which it returned to the Catholic Church.

We feel happiness once we stepped into the door of church although it's broken and rudimentary。The simpler the church is，the more harmony the heart is。

Don't miss this great church when you are in Gdańsk.
