The gothic cathedral was built between 12th and 14th century. It is the second tallest church in Poland. St James's Cathedral in Szczecin houses a pipe organ built between 1980 and 1982 by the Eule company from Bautzen. It is one of the largest organs in Poland, with 101 stops arranged on four manuals and a pedal.

Ооо отлично отреставрированная базилика. Стоит сходить если вы посещаете этот город. Вход бесплатный , чему я был удивлен так как во всей европе взимают хотяб копейку, чтобы зайти. Чувствуется масштаб, так же слево от входа вы можете подняться на башню с которой открывается вид на весь город. В общем приходите и проводите время.
