Gothic St. Catherine's church (Roman Catholic)
St. Catherine's Church was founded by Kasimirus III The Great before 1363 for the Augustinian order. The original plans were changed for unknown reasons, and the church is almost 13 m shorter than originally planned, also the facade has never been completed nor the two towers erected.
St. Catherine's church has not very fortunate history, the flood of 1534 caused great devastation to the building, as well as the fire of 1556 when the ceiling collapsed. The church was damaged twice, in 1443 and in 1786 by earthquakes.
