Saint John the Baptist church in Włocławek, Gothic church in Włocławek, Poland.
Saint John the Baptist church is a Gothic brick structure with a rectangular plan and semicircular apse. The building features a western tower and Flemish bond construction with side annexes.
The parish was established in the 12th century, though construction of the present late-Gothic church began around 1500. The building underwent significant changes later that altered its structure.
The interior blends Gothic, Baroque, and neo-Gothic styles that visitors can observe throughout. Stained glass windows and episcopal tombstones reflect the spiritual importance this place held for the city's religious life.
Regular services are held, and guided tours are available for those interested in the building. It is helpful to check opening times in advance to plan your visit well.
In 1622 the apse was expanded significantly, and a chapel was added just 13 years later in 1635. These modifications transformed the interior layout and continue to shape how the space feels today.
