The cathedral conducts organ concerts in the summer, but few people know that the organ is very complex and has (like in Oliwa) movable elements. Listening to all the sounds spreading throughout the interior of the main nave and side naves is amazing. Visiting this temple itself is a feast for the spirit and eyes.

Dear Recipient! I sent an email to you 3 days ago and no answer received!!! I would like to share our experience with you here. Our group of 4 friends from Hungary set out on a 10-day tour of Poland, which we had been carefully planning for weeks. On August 3, 2024, we arrived in Frombork to visit the cathedral. We purchased the tickets (attached) at 17:10, but the tickets we received showed 16:00 !!! The ticket office is open until 17:30. We bought tickets at 17:10, which were valid for the tower and the church itself. The lady did not inform us to go to the church first because of the mass starting at 18:00, which would close the church to visitors at 17:30!!!! We arrived at the church at 17:35, where an elderly lady did not let us in, saying that the mass had already begun. We returned to the ticket office, where there was a lady who did not speak English. A Polish family helped translate, and the lady said there would have been time for us to enter. Our printed ticket showed 16:00, but we had bought it at 17:10. On our way back, we approached the elderly lady who called a young man (who turned out to be the organist) and he said that since the mass had started, we could only enter after the mass at 19:00. (This was at 17:55, we asked if we could go in for just 2 minutes at that time, but we were not allowed. However, the young organist suggested that we come back after the mass as the church would remain open for 30 minutes afterward). We returned at 19:05, the door was closed, and of course, there was no one around. We have never encountered such contradictory staff members or those who did not even attempt to help. It is not about the money we spent on 4 tickets unnecessarily, but about the fact that we made a several-hour detour for this. We were extremely disappointed as this would have been one of the main attractions of our 10-day trip. We continued our journey that evening, and this time we thank your staff for the "unforgettable" experience. :(

Unfriendly staff at both the ticket offices makes you want to leave before entering. Maybe only to foreigners. Not sure. It's a pity.

Beautiful building both outside and inside. I've been to many churches, but this one is really impressive.

The cathedral is impressive. Beautiful, you can feel the atmosphere of the place. It is worth watching the photo presentation before entering, showing what it looked like years ago and now. A piece of good conservation work. Beautiful organ, unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to hear it. Stunning details, faces of angels, etc. It is worth paying attention to the vaults. Of course, a must-see in Frmoborek.
