Gerard Pietrykiewicz
★★★★★9 months agoBeautiful place, but an active churche so please make sure to visit outside of mess hours. There is a nice museum in the crypt worth visiting and learning about the history of this church. A bit unusual place to visit as a tourist but very interesting.
Law Sistar
★★★★★6 months agoBeautiful cathedral. Museum in crypt has video on rotation that explains the history of the church and the Russian presence in this part of Europe. Wonderful experience and astonishingly beautiful architecture and art work.
