Churches and monasteries in Szczecin Old Town: St James' Cathedral, St John's Church and the Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, with three styles.
Four places of worship in and near Szczecin's Old Town: two Gothic brick churches, one former Franciscan church and one Orthodox church from 2011. A good choice if you like architecture and want to see several denominations in one area.
The best known is Bazylika Archikatedralna św. Jakuba Apostoła w Szczecinie (St James' Cathedral Basilica), a Gothic brick hall at św. Jakuba 5. The tower with its helmet is 110.18 m high and the helmet holds viewing points. The interior holds twelve chapels and Gothic altars brought from ruined churches of the region.
By Plac Świętych Piotra i Pawła stands Kościół św. Piotra i św. Pawła w Szczecinie (Church of St Peter and St Paul), a small Gothic brick church that has been a Polish Catholic parish church since 1946. The painted ceiling, dated to the early 1700s, is its best feature. A first wooden church stood here in 1124, according to the description.
At Świętego Ducha 9 you will find Kościół św. Jana Ewangelisty w Szczecinie (Church of St John the Evangelist), all that is left of the old Franciscan friary. Bare brick and medieval murals of the 1400s and 1500s mark the interior.
Cerkiew św. Mikołaja w Szczecinie (Orthodox Church of St Nicholas) on Zygmunta Starego Street is an Orthodox co-cathedral built in the Byzantine style on a Greek cross plan. Construction began in 2004 and it was consecrated in 2011. It lies not far from Wały Chrobrego.
Four addresses make an easy walk, and more stops wait in the lists Zabytki: Stare Miasto and Klimatyczne miejsca: Stare Miasto. The district as a whole is on Stare Miasto. Churches from other towns sit in the category Kościoły i klasztory.
The helmet of the tower holds viewing points, and the tower is 110.18 m high.
The Church of St John the Evangelist at Świętego Ducha 9 is the one remaining piece of the old Franciscan friary.
The Church of St Nicholas on Zygmunta Starego Street is a co-cathedral of the Wrocław-Szczecin diocese and lies near Wały Chrobrego.
