Tips from the Community
The St. Lawrence Church was built in the last third of the 14th century and is one of the oldest church buildings in the city of Olsztyn. Particularly noteworthy is its former role in the pastoral care of lepers, as well as a preserved window fragment through which communion was administered to them.

In the interwar period, it was a refuge of Polishness in Warmia. In November 1939, it was destroyed by the Germans. Rebuilt after the war. Today it houses a branch of the Warmia Museum.

The chapel dates back to 1903, as indicated by the metal wind flag on the hipped roof. It was built in the neo-Gothic style, made of red bricks, the interesting base part is separated from the rest by a delicate decorative frieze and cornice. At the front, the chapel has a large, ogival, glass niche with a figure of the Virgin Mary and Child, around it there are many other open niches with figures or religious elements. The chapel is very nicely maintained, and the greenery surrounding it further highlights its values. Source: http://www.polskaniezwykla.pl/web/place/37071,olsztyn-kapliczki-dawnej-wsi-gutkowo.html

It dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and is also a neo-Gothic building. The chapel is two-story, made of red brick, has a simple body divided by a cornice and highlighted with corner avant-corps, but only from the front, the whole thing is covered with a gable roof topped with a modest metal cross. This chapel is slightly more modest than the one located at Żurawia Street, the lower part is a pointed-arched glass niche with a figure of the Virgin Mary, while the upper level is an open semicircular niche with a crucifix. In order to preserve this sacred architecture, the developing Gutkowo was forced to integrate it into the development of neighboring buildings, and now, when you first encounter this place, you may get the impression that it has always looked like this. The chapel is in good condition, but it is located very close to a busy provincial road and, unfortunately, it has many signs of damage.
