Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, Pelplin
Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, Pelplin, Gothic cathedral and monastery in Pelplin, Poland
The cathedral measures 84 meters in length, 29 meters in width, and rises 63 meters high, featuring brick construction with pointed arches and ribbed vaults.
The Cistercian monastery originated in 1258 when Duke Mszczuj II brought monks to nearby Pogodki before relocating them to Pelplin in 1276.
The cathedral contains twenty-three altars distributed along the inter-nave pillars and side naves, with nineteen made of wood, two of marble, and two of stucco.
The cathedral functions as the seat of the local bishop since 1824 and maintains regular mass services for a parish community of 8,120 members.
The main altar from 1623 presents an early Baroque multi-tiered structure with reliquary repositories in the lower section.
