Romanesque bronze from the 12th century inside the cathedral – one of Poland’s greatest treasures.
A pair of bronze wings cast in the second half of the 12th century. Eighteen panels tell the life and martyrdom of St Adalbert – from his birth, through the mission among the Prussians, to the ransoming of his body for its weight in gold.
The scenes read like a comic strip. A quarter of an hour panel by panel gives far more than a glance on the way to the confessio.
approx. 15 min walk
The doors are inside the cathedral, so it is the same fifteen-minute walk. No separate ticket.
Look for them in the southern porch. Best seen outside service times, when you can step close and work through the panels.
