St. Catherine's Church (Kościół św. Katarzyny) is the oldest church in the city. It is located directly opposite the Great Mill.
The brick building was constructed as early as the period 1227-1239. However, the church was enlarged and redesigned several times in the following centuries. The tomb of the astronomer Johannes Hevelius is also located in the church. The church tower, about 76 meters high, towers far above the Old Town.

St. Catherine's Church (Kościół św. Katarzyny), Gdańsk's oldest church, stands opposite the Big Mill. It was founded in 1185, but the current brick building dates from the 14th century. In the main altar there is a painting of the Crucifixion with the city panorama of Gdańsk by Anton Möller (1610), in the chancel there is an epitaph by the astronomer Johannes Hevelius (1779). From the tower of the church, in which a large number of clocks are exhibited, a glockenspiel sounds every hour on the hour with Beethoven's famous ode from the ninth symphony "Freude, schöner Götterfunken".
