Photographer’s Note
St Nicholas’ church - the Gothic three-nave basilica was erected between 1370 and 1417 on the site of the former parish church. Between 1884 and 1885 the church was extended with towers and the porches of the church were reconstructed. It was destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt in the 1960s. It has one of the tallest naves in Silesia (approx. 30 metres high). The bourgeoisie epitaphs (from the Renaissance to the Baroque) were preserved from the former richly decorated interior. The chancel features a Gothic triptych from 1500. The Gothic polychromes dated 1418 and 1428 were discovered during the reconstruction works carried out in the sacristy. The Trail of Medieval Polychromes (the blue trail) starts in the St Nicholas church itself . The contemporary stained glass windows decorate the chancel behind the organs and in the aisles.
