Amazing view of Gdansk. 10 zloty pP. Go there early, right when they open....otherwise the small platform at the top will be very crowded.

A.D 1502. At the beginning of March 1343, the cornerstone was laid for the Basilica in Gdansk. The construction took almost 159 years! Fantastic and beautiful gothic architecture. One of the largest red-brick churches in the world. Unbelievable cubature of 5.473,773ft³. The main bell weighs 154,52 cwtUK! Tower height has 252,62 ft. Primarily, the church's tower was supposed to be higher. Unfortunately, a 13-years war (1454-1466 C.E) lasted between The Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem. The medieval council of Gdansk had to spend money on military purposes. For this reason, the tower's construction never was completed. The Basilica’s tower was to be a spire, like many other towers in medieval Europa. Over centuries many eminent city notables, famous figures, city mayors, artists and priests were buried inside the Basilica. In March 1945 (end of WWII) the Basilica was seriously damaged. Next, according to the original, wonderfully rebuilt. Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary houses the copy of the image the ‘Last Judgment’, the triptych attributed to famous Flemish painter Hans Memling. The triptych ‘Last Judgment’ it’s the great work! By the staircase, you may reach a viewpoint located on the roof of the tower and enjoy the fabulous panoramic of Gdansk. I admired that red brick pearl of architecture in September 2015. I highly recommend a visit.

Ancient church, beautiful piece of construction. In the middle of center. Just next to food street. We paid 10 ZLT for the view from tower, which is on top of the church. Though you have to climb over 400 steps to enjoy the panoramic view over Gdansk. Must visit place.

A very nice church building. More reserved in their decoration than many Polish churches. Great fun going up the tower. However they let too many people onto the top of the tower at one time. those christians who take the bible as their primary source of authority, be prepared to implode at the main alter screen!

The tower view is really worth it!

A truly magnificent structure in need of some renovation work - which you can assist with by paying to visit the viewing platform high above the city. The view from the top is incredible - you can see all the way to Westerplatte on a clear day - but the journey to the top is not for the faint-hearted!

This humungous Gothic church was started in the 14th century and, with a volume of up to 190,000 cubic metres, is counted among the three largest brick-built churches in the world. Standing in the 66-metre-long nave you’ll need to take a moment just to wrap your head around the dimensions of this epic building that can hold 25,000 worshippers. A major reconstruction was needed after the Second World War, but all of its valuable fittings were saved. You can peruse treasures like an astronomical clock from the 1460s, the high altar raised in the 1510s and a marvellous Gothic stone pietà carved at the start of the 15th century. If you’re up for climbing nearly 400 steps you can battle your way to the top of the monolithic 77.6-metre main tower.
