Photographer’s Note

Church of St. James in the city of Toruń, New Town Market Place. The gothic building was erected 1309-1424. Its basilica construction (side aisles are lower than the main aisle) is unique among Toruń’s gothic churches. Its construction utilizes supporting arches that transfer the pressure of the roof and ceiling to the supports of side aisles. This church is decorated with numerous pinnacles, blind windows and glazed bricks. The tower is 49 m high, and its double saddle roof comes from the second half of the XV century. The interior was whitewashed in the lutheran period (1557-1667), and partially restored in the 1930s.
