Church of the BVM, south elevation, Poznań

Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in summo, south elevation, Poznań

This illustration shows the south elevation of one of the oldest churches in Poznań -the Gothic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Summo, located on Ostrów Tumski. Built between 1431 and 1447 by a workshop connected with the cathedral’s construction, it is a rare example of Central European brick Gothic.

The south façade, shown in the drawing, is marked by simplicity and clarity of form, characteristic of late Gothic architecture. Tall pointed windows, once filled with tracery, set a strong rhythm and give the wall a vertical character. The precise brickwork and slender wall strips add subtle order to the surface. This side of the church once faced the canonry buildings, but today it reveals the harmony and proportions of Gothic architecture -a beauty rooted in restraint and modesty.

Why is this illustration worth having?

• A witness to Greater Poland’s Gothic -a rare example of 15th-century brick architecture in Poznań.
• Harmony in simplicity -the austere, undecorated south façade highlights the pure form and rhythm of Gothic windows.
• For history and architecture lovers -a unique drawing showing a lesser-known, yet remarkable side of a Poznań landmark.
• A decoration with soul -perfect for a home, office, or library where history and style matter.
