Lonely Planet review for Corpus Christi Parish Church

West of the Rynek is the monumental Corpus Christi Parish Church . This mighty Gothic brick structure, evidence of the town's erstwhile affluence, dates from the 15th century and looks vaguely Flemish. Inside, the chancel holds most of the church's treasures, most notably the late-Renaissance high altar and massive stalls, all from the early 17th century.

To the side of the altar is a gilded woodcarving depicting the genealogical tree of the Virgin Mary. Further up is an impressive crucifix from 1639.
