Church of St. James the Apostle, western elevation, Toruń 

This illustration shows the western façade of one of Toruń’s most important Gothic churches -the Church of St. James the Apostle. Construction began in 1309, and the church stands out in brick architecture for its exceptional detailing and original spatial layout -a two-level basilica with a gallery running under the windows on the upper floor.

The western façade, featuring a square tower integrated into the nave bay, presents a slender silhouette, massive walls, and tall pointed-arch windows. Brick details, including numerous glazed inscriptions, give the building a distinctive character. Elegant proportions are complemented by smaller structures such as the porch, sacristy, and a small stair tower. Altogether, the Church of St. James is not only an example of outstanding medieval sacred architecture but also a valuable testament to the skill of Toruń’s master brickmakers.
