Cathedral of the Assumption
architecture
The construction of the church, a large brick building (length 80 m, height 26 m), began in 1289. The church was completed in 1323, but the vaults only in 1557. It is a cruciform, three-aisled basilica on an almost symmetrical floor plan, divided halfway through a two-aisled transept. The choir is currently closed.
Interior
The predominantly mannerist and baroque furnishings (pulpit 1682, organ 1677 to 1680, the large main altar 1623 to 1628) were purified from 1894 to 1899 (further information in the local article Pelplin ).

The side organ above the south entrance is located in a prospectus from 1677/80, which is one of the oldest preserved in Poland. The instrument was reconstructed in 2003 based on historical models. The main organ was built in 1844/45 by Carl August Buchholz from Berlin and, after being expanded with 72 registers, is one of the largest in northern Poland.
Enclosure and monastery building
The enclosure buildings are south of the church. The north-east corner of the cloister claims the south-west yoke of the south transept.
In one building there is a Catholic seminary with one of the 49 surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible in the library .
