Saint Andrew church in Barczewo, Gothic church in Barczewo, Poland.

Saint Andrew Church features eight baroque altars within its stone walls, with a Renaissance tomb and an ornate Rococo pulpit from Tolkmicko.

The church construction occurred between 1380 and 1390 as part of a Franciscan monastery complex, following Barczewo's establishment with special permission for religious orders.

The temple served as a primary center for Saint Anthony worship during the 17th and 18th centuries, drawing numerous pilgrims from across Warmia region.

The church maintains its religious functions while the adjacent former monastery building now operates as a correctional facility since its conversion in 1810.

Cardinal Andrew Báthory commissioned his own Renaissance tombstone in 1598, created by Wilhelm and Abraham van der Blocke, which remains within the church.
