Olsztyn Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Olsztyn, Poland
The brick walls of St. James Cathedral rise above the cityscape, featuring octagonal pillars, stellar vaults, and a tall stepped gable on the east side.
Construction of the cathedral began in the late 14th century, following the architectural design of the nave of the cathedral in Frombork as its prototype.
Two Late Gothic winged altars from the 16th century adorn the interior of the cathedral, representing the religious artistry of the period.
The cathedral opens its doors at Świętej Barbary 4 in Olsztyn, offering guided tours and regular mass services throughout the week.
During July and August, the cathedral transforms into a concert venue, filling its halls with the sounds of organ music performances.
