Built in the 14th century, St. James the Greater's Church is often regarded as the most beautiful Gothic structure in Toruń.
St. James the Greater's Church in Toruń.
Inspired by Western European stone cathedrals of the time, its vaults are supported by flying buttresses, though only one remains visible today. The richly decorated presbytery and tracery ornaments exemplify its breathtaking Gothic architecture. The church, a historic pilgrimage site, features significant art, including a Gothic crucifix, 14th-15th century murals, and a Passion of Christ painting. The Baroque high altar and a Renaissance organ from 1611, one of Poland’s oldest, further add to its historical and artistic significance.
