Orthodox church in Gdańsk, Orthodox church building on Traugutta Street, Gdańsk, Poland

The Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church features characteristic onion domes and brick construction, located near the municipal stadium and Gdańsk University of Technology campus.

Built in 1914 as a Protestant cemetery chapel with crematorium, the building was transferred to the Orthodox community in 1954 and adapted for Eastern Orthodox worship.

The church maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through its iconostasis, religious services in multiple languages, and regular celebrations of Orthodox Christian festivals and ceremonies.

The Orthodox cathedral serves both civilian and military parishes, offering regular services and maintaining its status as a protected architectural monument since 1996.

The structure stands on Gallows Hill and remains part of a former funeral complex, combining German architectural heritage with Eastern Orthodox religious elements.
