Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Toruń, Gothic church in Old Town, Toruń, Poland

The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady is a church building with three naves and vaulting in Gothic style. The interior is defined by tall pointed windows that direct light onto brick walls and wooden structures.

Franciscan monks founded this building in 1239 as a religious center in the city. After about three centuries, the building changed religious use, until it later returned to Catholic practice.

The walls inside display paintings from the 14th century showing scenes from the life of Saint Francis. These artworks blend with ornate wooden choir stalls that shape the church's character through their craftsmanship.

The space is open to visitors, with opening hours that vary depending on the day and season. It is advisable to check ahead or visit during typical prayer times.

The main altar dates from the 18th century and displays an unusual architectural design with seven column-like elements. This special arrangement holds symbolic meaning and stands out immediately when looking toward the front.
