About Katedra Świętych Janów
The cathedral dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist is part of the brick ensemble of Toruń's old town. The building has the scale of an urban church connected to religious life and the history of the medieval city, near other landmarks of the historic core.
The architecture, decorative elements and the memory associated with Copernicus provide themes for an interior visit. The temple should not be confused with the museum in Copernicus's House: the connection to the astronomer appears in a different religious and urban context.
Confirm access areas and respect times of worship. Any climb to the tower requires checking stairs and the route, in addition to entry to the nave. The proximity of the central streets makes it easy to include the temple in a walk, without reducing its interior to observing the façade.
