Lonely Planet review

To the west, just off the Rynek, the metal front door of the 16th-century brick Parish Church depicts scenes from the city's 1000-year history. Within is a gilded Baroque high altar with a 1466 painting of the Virgin Mary. What's really surprising, however, is the church's colour scheme - its interior is done out in vivid purple and orange shades that would have appealed to adherents of 1960s flower power.

You may want to keep your sunglasses on! The illustrations on the walls date from the 1920s when the church was redecorated, having been commandeered in the 19th century for use as storage by various passing military forces.
