Saint Hyacinth church in Słupsk

Saint Hyacinth Church is a brick religious building with Gothic style located in Słupsk. The structure features high pointed arches, large windows, and red brick walls typical of medieval northern European churches.

A fire in 1395 destroyed the original wooden structure, leading to the construction of the current brick building in the early 15th century. The building then changed religious functions in the 17th century when it transitioned from a Dominican monastery church to serve Protestant worship.

The church is named after Saint Hyacinth and reflects how a single building has served different religious communities over time. Its continued use across centuries shows its enduring importance to the city's spiritual life.

The building is located in central Słupsk on Dominikanska Street and is easy to find. Visitors should keep in mind that regular services take place there, which may affect visiting hours for exploring the interior.

The building contains a preserved medieval rood screen that once separated the chancel from the main body of the church, marking distinct areas for clergy and worshippers. Few churches retain such screens in their original positions today.
