St. Mary Magdalene Church is
a gothic church located between
Szewska and Laciarska street close
to the central market square,
established in the 13th century.
Currently it is a cathedral of the
Polish Catholic Church. The most
precious relic of the church is a
Romanesque portal dating from
the 12th century, coming from a
Benedictine monastery on the river
Elbing. The bridge connecting the
two towers is called the "Mostek
Czarownic" (Witches’ Bridge). A
legend says that the shadows
visible on the bridge are the souls
of the girls who used to seduce
men without wanting to be
married,
being
scared
of
housekeeping.
