Ełk Cathedral, Neo-Gothic cathedral in Ełk, Poland.
Ełk Cathedral is a neo-Gothic brick building with two towers, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows that light up the central nave and side chapels. Inside, the space is divided by columns and altars, creating different areas for prayer and worship.
Construction began in 1853 during a period of religious growth in the Masovia region of northeastern Poland. The completion of the building reflected this movement, which led to many new places of worship being built across the area.
The cathedral honors Saint Adalbert of Prague, showing the link between Polish Catholicism and early Christian teachers who traveled through the region. People gather here for prayers and religious celebrations that remain important to the local community.
The main entrance is located on Kościuszki Street 16, and regular services take place throughout the week. Check visiting hours in advance, as religious ceremonies may affect when you can enter and look around.
Pope John Paul II visited in 1999, recognizing its role as the spiritual center of the Diocese of Ełk. This papal acknowledgment made it a notable place within Poland's religious landscape.
