Polish Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Warsaw, Roman Catholic cathedral on Długa Street in New Town, Warsaw, Poland

The cathedral displays red brick architecture with two towers flanking the main entrance and features multiple chapels within its walls.

Built in 1903, the cathedral replaced an earlier wooden chapel from 1642 that was destroyed during the Polish-Swedish War of 1656.

The cathedral houses a memorial dedicated to Polish officers who lost their lives in the Katyn massacre of 1940.

Visitors can reach the cathedral via the Ratusz Arsenal metro station or the Plac Krasinskich bus stop, with free entry to the main building.

Between 1834 and 1916, the building served as a Russian Orthodox church before returning to Catholic use for the Polish Army.
