Church of St. The Trinity Church in Strzelno is a basilica by its architectural foundation, today we know that it still retains Romanesque features, although it was Gothicized and Baroque. The most important altar in the church is the altar of the Holy Cross, which was formerly the main altar. By the way, it is worth mentioning that there are as many as 658 relics of saints and martyrs there; there are more only at Wawel in Krakow. The church, a valuable historical monument with very well-preserved Romanesque columns (vices and virtues), as well as tympana. It is a must to visit it, preferably with a guide, because then all the places, artifacts and curiosities are at your fingertips - an open church. It is worth adding that Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki was an altar boy in this church.

We do not have many monuments of this class in Poland, Romanesque art as a medicine. Value, watch and delight!

Church of the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary in Strzelno. He belonged to the Norbertine abbey. The construction of the church from granite cubes began in the 12th century and was not completed until the mid-13th century. In 1216 his solemn consecration took place. A historical monument from 2018. TV

Miejsce polecane do zobaczenia. Dla pasjonatów historii i nie tylko. Mona tu poczuć magię dawnych czasów.

Baroque front. And the side walls have retained the Romanesque and Gothic elements. There are many antique elements in the interior. And the famous Romanesque columns. The monument is underestimated

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
