St. Catherine's Church (Kościół św. Katarzyny) is the oldest parish church in Gdańsk, founded in the 1220s. Its 76-meter tower houses a carillon of 50 bells and functioning tower clock, and the church interior features notable Gothic and Baroque elements alongside its memorial role as a burial place of the astronomer Johannes Hevelius.
Founded around 1227, St. Catherine's served as the parish church of the Old Town (as distinct from St. Mary's in the Main Town). Damaged by fire in 2006, restoration work has been ongoing.
