St. James’s Church is located in a corner of the New City Market Square (Rynek Nowomiejski) and towering over the New City. Erected in the first half of the 14th century, it is considered as one of the most valuable and interesting architectural achievements. Differing from other Toruń’s Gothic churches, it is a basilica-plan church (with the aisles lower than the nave). The unique character of the church is also determined by a plethora of decorations, detail styles and multicolour glazed brick. The church can be entered through the Gothic gate with the Baroque figure of St. James, the patron.
