Inside St. Mary's Church in Gdansk, Poland

Gdansk Poland Picture (c) Linda Garrison
Unlike many Gothic churches, St. Mary's in Gdansk, Poland is bright and airy on the inside. I thougth the white walls and ceiling made the artwork stand out more than in the darker, more somber atmosphere seen in most European Gothic churches. The high, vaulted ceiling and many interesting pieces of artwork make a look inside the church worth your time. St. Mary's is believed to be the largest brick church in the world. The interior vault supports 37 windows, over 300 tombstones and 31 chapels.
