St. John the Evangelist's Church, Paczków, Gothic church in Paczków, Poland.

St. John the Evangelist's Church is a Gothic structure with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and tall windows that flood the interior with light. The space feels expansive through its two-nave layout and the skillful arrangement of vertical elements.

Construction began in 1389 as part of Paczków's transformation into a fortified city with religious importance. The work spanned generations and reflects how medieval craftsmanship shaped the growing urban settlement.

For centuries this church has served as the spiritual center of Paczków and continues to shape the city's religious life today. Visitors experience the connection between past worshippers and the current community that gathers within these walls.

The church is centrally located in Paczków and easily reached from several directions within the city. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship and respectful behavior is expected.

The two-nave design is a defining feature of this church that sets it apart from contemporary structures in the region. This layout historically allowed more worshippers to have a clear view of the altar.
