Kościół św. Wojciecha w Elblągu, Catholic church in northern Elbląg, Poland.
St. Adalbert Church in Elbląg is a Catholic church built in neo-Gothic style with a distinctive tall western tower and three interior naves that give the building vertical presence. The interior features a compact chancel and contains multiple altars along with Stations of the Cross paintings from the early 20th century.
The church was built between 1901 and 1902 under Bishop Andreas Thiel and served as the first Catholic temple in the Pangritz-Kolonie district. It was constructed during a period when the Catholic community in this area needed new places of worship.
The church is named after Saint Adalbert, a 10th-century bishop and martyr, reflecting its spiritual importance to the community. Inside, visitors find neo-Gothic craftsmanship with a striking altar and historic stained glass windows that catch the light beautifully.
The church is accessible during regular worship times, with services held on weekdays in the morning and evening, while Sundays offer multiple masses. The building sits in a residential area in northern Elbląg and can be reached on foot or by public transportation.
The building houses a 16-voice organ built in 1903 by A. Terletzki's workshop, equipped with two manuals and a pedal system. This instrument is among the notable organ works in the region and contributes to the rich sound of the church.
