Saint Jacob church is one of the biggest and most beautiful gothic churches in Poland. It was built in XIV century and was a municipal church for the New Town of Toruń. Its building started in 1309 as certifies a gothic inscription on yellow and green glazed bricks placed around the choir. The church was finished in 1350. Its basilica construction (side aisles are lower than the main aisle) is unique among Toruń’s gothic churches. Its construction utilizes supporting arches that transfer the pressure of the roof and ceiling to the supports of side aisles. This church is decorated with numerous pinnacles, blind windows and glazed bricks. The tower is 49 m high, and its double saddle roof comes from the second half of the XV century. The interior was whitewashed in the lutheran period (1557-1667), and partially restored in the 1930s. Equipment mainly comes from the XVIII century – two gothic figures of saint Mary and several medieval crosses from the former dominican church were also preserved. <a href="http://www.torun.pl">www.torun.pl</a>
