Discover the architectural and historical marvel that is the Bazylika Mariacka Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny in Gdańsk. Known as St. Mary's Church, this iconic attraction ranks among the largest gothic brick churches in the world, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.7 on Google. Visitors are often awed by its high ceiling vaults, pristine white pillars, and original frescoes that, despite being whitewashed after WWII, still manage to inspire.

Climbing the 406 steps to the top of the bell tower rewards you with spectacular, panoramic views of Gdańsk. While the initial narrow staircase may challenge some, the unparalleled vistas from the viewing platform make every step worth it. Be sure not to miss the church's remarkable movable astronomical clock.

Enjoy free entrance to the basilica itself, with the option to climb the tower for an 18 PLN ticket per adult. For a deeper understanding of the church's rich history and intricate details, consider taking a guided tour with one of Gdańsk's licensed guides.

Die Kirche ist unwahrscheinlich beeindruckend. Im Inneren befindet sich eine große Uhr aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Jede Menge Statuen und Altäre sind zu sehen. Wer Kirchen gerne besichtigt kann hier nicht vorbei gehen.
