St. Elizabeth's Church & Hansel and Gretel Houses
Bazylika św. Elżbiety / Jaś i Małgosia
A Gothic church at the northwestern corner of Market Square, where you can climb about 300 steps to a viewpoint overlooking the square. A pair of connected houses next door look like a fairy-tale photo spot.
St. Elizabeth's Church was built in the 14th century. Its tower is about 91 m tall, and the observation deck sits at roughly 75 m. From the top you can look down on Market Square, the Town Hall and the Centennial Hall in the distance. You have to climb the stairs yourself, and admission is inexpensive. On the south side of the church are two houses joined by an arch, called 'Hansel' and 'Gretel'. They were originally priests' residences and now serve as small galleries. Both are on Market Square, so you can visit them on the way.
Opening hours
Tower climb approx. 10:00 am–7:00 pm (shorter in winter)
