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😊

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 beautiful and very big church

Don't miss this great church when you are in Gdańsk. Por supesto una iglesia de visitar

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.

Beautiful best

0ld church with interesting historic story

Paid for ticket to see the view from the tower. When we climbed to the top they closed the door saying that the weather is bad, even the weather was okay, no strong wind, just light rain. After talking with the workers they didn't seem to care, tried to play it off.

A.D 1239. Dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of scientists, ordinary people and Cyprus island. Delightful brick gothic architecture. The tower is 249 ft tall. An interesting historical site. Worth visiting. Inside you will see fantastic oil painting images by Flemish painter Isaak van den Blocke and german painter Anton Möller. There is Museum of Turret Clocks as well. St. Catherine’s church houses Johann Hewelcke tombstone, who was a great astronomer and former mayor of Gdansk. Outside the church, you will be able to enjoy the unmistakable sounds of the carillon consisting of 50 bells. I visited St. Catherine’s church in September 2015. My best recommendations to visit.

Beautiful Church, free entrance👍😎

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

Nice complex

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.

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

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.

Pikaisesti käytynä oman huomioni kiinnitti kirkon askeettisuus siinä mielessä, että kirkossa ei seinillä ja katossa ollut juurikaan koristeluja tai maalauksia.
