St. Mary's Church

One of the many historical and architectural attractions of the Swedish city of Helsingborg is the Church of St. Mary, built in the Romanesque style in the 1100s. In the 1400s, the monastery building was replaced by a new one, built of brick in the classical Gothic style. During the construction, several sand blocks of the old temple were involved. In 1500, a stair tower was added to the Church of St. Mary. In 1953, the monastery was reconstructed according to the projects of the famous architect Karl Bruns. As a result, it was turned into a beautiful basilica with three naves. In 1953, the temple ceased to fulfill its immediate role, and in 2002 the building was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

To this day there is a beautiful church font made of gray limestone in the 1600s. There is also an altar, the door of which is decorated with images of scenes from the life of Mary and Jesus. The old church organ, stained glass windows, as well as the ornate staircases and doors of the monastery deserve special attention. Currently, access to the temple is open to everyone.
