Virgin Mary Queen of the Peace church in Bydgoszcz

The church exhibits Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements with a stellar vaulted nave, red brick walls, and decorative tombstones from the 17th century.

The initial temple, completed in 1485 and dedicated to Saint George, burned down in 1545 due to lightning, leading to reconstruction between 1552 and 1557.

The main altar, devoted to the Holy Trinity, contains religious artwork and demonstrates the strong connection between the Bernardine order and local community.

Regular religious services occur in the church, which maintains extended opening hours and provides guided tours for visitors interested in its architecture.

Underground crypts discovered during 1999 renovations contain burials of clergymen and prominent citizens from previous centuries.
