Saint George Basilica, Gothic church in Kętrzyn, Poland.
This medieval church features two distinct towers, diamond vaulting, and massive stone walls built without external buttresses to support its structure.
Construction began in 1359 near a former Teutonic watchtower, with major expansions occurring between 1470 and 1485 to transform it into a three-aisle pseudo-basilica.
The building transformed from a Catholic church to a Lutheran temple in the 1520s, reflecting the religious changes that swept through the region.
Located in the southwest corner of Kętrzyn, the church measures 47 meters long by 19.3 meters wide, with its western tower reaching 40 meters in height.
The structure incorporates defensive elements including thick walls, a watchtower, and strategic positioning within the town fortifications of medieval Kętrzyn.
