Lonely Planet review for Holy Cross Cathedral

The Gothic Holy Cross Cathedral, a short walk north of the Rynek, features 73m-high towers and mostly Baroque interior furnishing. The chapel in the right-hand aisle shelters the red-marble tombstone of the last of the Opole dukes, Jan II Dobry (John II the Good), who popped his ducal clogs here in 1532. A Gothic triptych (1519), the last survivor from the church’s original collection of 26 pieces, is also displayed in this chapel. The lovely bronze gate at the western entrance was erected in 1995 to mark the church’s 700th year.
