Saint Catherine of Alexandria church in Brodnica

The brick church features a tall single tower reaching 50 meters, stellar vaults in the central nave, and octagonal pillars supporting profiled arcades.

Construction began in the third quarter of the 13th century, with the chancel damaged by Yotvingians in 1298 and subsequent rebuilding phases through the 14th century.

The interior preserves Gothic wooden sculptures of twelve Apostles, medieval painted decorations with foliate designs, and inscriptions in minuscule writing on walls and vaults.

Located northeast of the Large Market Square on Farna Street, the church stands within the Old Town district, enclosed by a partial brick wall.

The church introduced the first stellar vaults in the Chełmno region, incorporating decorative bosses with figural and animal motifs from the 14th century.
