Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bochnia, Gothic church building in Bochnia, Poland.

The Basilica of Saint Nicholas features a late Gothic facade with buttresses, stepped pinnacles, blind arcades, and friezes on its exterior walls.

The original wooden church was replaced by a brick structure funded by Saint Kinga in 1253, marking the beginning of Bochnia's official township.

The interior holds numerous Baroque and Rococo furnishings, including altars and a pulpit created by Piotr Kornecki between 1770 and 1772.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements, religious artifacts, and historical features throughout the week.

A wooden bell tower stands separately from the main building, containing four modern bells that replaced those destroyed in a previous fire.
