CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Erected in the 13th century by the Teutonic Order, originally wooden, it served as a hospital. Destroyed by fire in 1345, it was replaced by a single-nave brick church with an elongated rectangular ground plan, today with completely lost Gothic features. During the Reformation, it was twice taken away from the Catholics and handed over to the Protestants. From 1624 it was taken over as a monastery church by Benedictine nuns. Destroyed during the Swedish wars and again in 1945. The church was rebuilt between 1956 and 1959. In 1971, the artist Teodor Nowak placed a sgraffito scene of Pentecost in the presbytery.
