Corpus Christi church in Gdańsk

The Corpus Christi Church exhibits brick Gothic architecture with external baroque elements and stands near the center of Gdańsk at coordinates 54.3583, 18.6431.

Built in 1380 outside the city walls, the church complex included a cemetery and hospital for patients with infectious diseases, particularly leprosy patients.

The church interior contains numerous depictions of the Gdańsk coat of arms and an 18th-century wooden pulpit dedicated to Jakub Hegge, the first Protestant preacher.

The structure maintains its original interior elements and remains an active place of worship, open to visitors interested in religious architecture and local history.

In 2002, the Monument-Cemetery of the Lost Cemeteries was established next to the church, commemorating the religious and cultural diversity of Gdańsk.
