In the area of gdańsk called Old Town on the street łagiewniki are two of the ancient temple of interest to tourists and believers. One of them is dedicated to the name of St. Bartholomew. Nave Church, whose chancel overlooks the street, kraków, was elevated to 1482-1495 years. It was built in a simple Gothic style, the beauty of which was emphasized by the high bell tower, which appeared in 1591-1600. For a long time this temple was considered the main city Church: he took parishioners from all around. In the period from 1524 to 1945 it held Lutheran worship, then until 1990, he belonged to the Jesuit order, and in recent years owned by the Greek Catholic Church. The local Greek Catholic parish works in Gdansk in 1957 and is subject to the Wroclaw-Gdansk diocese.

The temple was seriously damaged in the explosion of ammunition during the Second world war. It had to be rebuilt. Local architects are very carefully treated to historic buildings and tried to recreate them as close as possible to the original. Naturally, no original Church interior here is not preserved. One piece is the only portal that dates back to the year 1647. He goes into the lane (or Polish Soulac) St. Bartholomew and leads to the South porch. In the Church there is an iconostasis, which is characteristic of Greek Catholic churches. The Church's interior is decorated in a Byzantine manner, that is characterized by splendor, brightness and impresses with its colors. Most parishioners are poles of Ukrainian origin.
