8 Kolobrzeska, Bydgoszcz, Poland
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław (Polish: Katedra Św Jana Chrzciciela Wrocław), located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. It is the most important temple in Wrocław, the church of the Wrocław Archbishop. A beautiful gothic building, built in the 13th / 14th century as the fifth church in this place (the first Wrocław cathedral was founded by Bolesław Chrobry in 1000), rebuilt after the destruction in 1945. Inside the cathedral there are valuable monuments of sculpture and painting: the triptych of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary from 1552, a brick pulpit (1723), oak stalls created in the years 1662-1665, as well as numerous tombstones from the Middle Ages, mannerism and baroque. The cathedral has 21 chapels. Worth seeing is the chapel of St. Elizabeth (1680-1686) and Elector's Chapel (1716-1721), the work of the outstanding Viennese architect J.B. Fischer von Erlach.
