Saint Elisabeth of Hungary church in Wrocław

The brick church features a 91-meter-high tower with vertical lines, large windows, and pointed arches characteristic of Gothic Revival architecture.

Initially built in the 13th century and dedicated to Saint Lawrence, the church was transferred to the Crusaders with the Red Star in 1253.

The interior contains medieval artworks, including Gothic stalls, stone sculptures, and heraldic representations from Silesian patrician families.

Visitors can access the observation deck in the main tower, offering views across the city of Wrocław and surrounding areas.

The church changed from Catholic to Lutheran ownership in 1525 through a dice game, marking a notable moment in religious transitions.
