Saint James church in Gdańsk Oliwa, Roman Catholic church in Oliwa district, Gdańsk, Poland.
Saint James Church contains a three-aisle basilica with a vaulted ceiling structured in the shape of a Latin cross, following medieval architectural patterns.
The church, constructed during the 14th and 15th centuries, underwent substantial renovations in 1709 following damages sustained during conflicts with Swedish forces.
The building maintains regular Catholic services while representing architectural developments across multiple centuries, from medieval foundations through Baroque modifications.
Visitors can access the church through Opacka Street and attend religious ceremonies, with detailed schedules available through the parish office.
The interior walls display a memorial plaque dedicated to Edward O'Rourke, an inter-war Danzig bishop, positioned near the main entrance.
