    Poznan, St. Peter and St. Paul cathedral * Front view

    The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul rises on the location of Poland’s first house of Christian worship. It was on this site that in 968 a basilica with three naves was built. That original building was destroyed in 1038 during a raid by the Czech prince Brzetyslaw. The current structure is the third cathedral standing on the site it was built in the gothic style during the reign of Kazimierz the Great. It acquired a classical facade in 1798 and was extensively restored during the 19th century.
