Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is the oldest church in Gorzów Wielkopolski, erected at the end of the 13th century as the town's parish. From the Reformation until 1945, when it was consecrated a Catholic cathedral, the church was a Protestant church. The original form of the church has changed little. A presbytery was added in the 15th century and a baroque helmet on the south tower in the 17th century. More significant changes to the structure of the church took place inside.
