St. Mary's Church is also called the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This church is located in Gdansk and considered to be the largest brick church in the world. It can accommodate about 25 thousand people. And it has been standing there for nearly 160 years.
It was built in 13-16 century, so it has a Gothic style. Before the Second World War it was considered the Lutheran Church. And at the end of the war it was partially destroyed, part of the arches fell off. Therefore, it was decided of its reconstruction and two years later the roof was restored, and some arches were replaced with the concrete ones. In the 55th year of the XX century it was consecrated again, and since then it became Catholic. And ten years later the Church became Basilica.
Inside the church there are many works of art; it has a stone statue of Virgin Mary, the main altar Ferberov, a copy of the triptych "The Last Judgment", and also many paintings in the Baroque style, which diversify the interior itself.
