St. James Church, Toruń
Kościół św. Jakuba
A 14th-century Gothic church in the New Town, whose flying buttresses are rare among Poland's brick churches.
St. James Church is the parish church of Toruń's New Town, begun in 1309. Its exterior has flying buttresses, a feature rarely seen on Polish brick Gothic buildings, and its gables are finely decorated. Inside are a 14th-century crucifix and murals. The church stands next to the New Town Market Square and is quieter than the core of the Old Town, so it is a good stop on the way to see the merchants' houses and square of the New Town.
Opening hours
~09:00–18:00; no visits during Mass
