St. Mary's Church is considered the largest brick church in Europe. Construction took 160 years and dates back to the 15th century. The entrance to the temple is free. Address: ul. Podkramarska 5

What to pay attention to?
1. Richly decorated altarpiece by German architect Michel Schwarz (15th century).
2. A unique copy of the triptych "The Last Judgment" by the artist Hans Memling.
3. Astronomical clock created in the 15th century by Dü ringer. This is not only a work of art, but also an accurate mechanism that, in addition to time, can show the date, lunar phases and various holidays.
4. The highest point from which you can view the historical part of Gdansk is the bell tower of St. Mary's Church (82 meters). Climbing a spiral staircase, about 400 steps. The cost is 6 PLN. The observation deck is open, so it is better not to climb in bad weather.
