Built in the 14th century and located opposite the Grand Moulin, this Gothic church was severely damaged by fire in 2006 and is currently still undergoing renovation. Indeed, most of the work has been completed, but much remains to be done to restore this temple to its former glory. The church collects regular donations, which are reinvested in the ongoing work. The church is famous for housing the tombstone of astronomer Jan Heweliusz (1611-1687), discovered in 1985.

Construction de la Sainte Église Catherine a commencé au début du XIIIe siècle

En 1308, lorsque l'Ordre Teutonique fut repris par Gdańsk, l'église fut fermée pendant le fameux "massacre de Gdansk".
En 1308, l'église a été agrandie. A cette époque, un presbytère en brique a été créé et une autre extension de l'église, entièrement en brique, a eu lieu à la fin du 14ème et 15ème siècles.
Puis un morceau du temple a été créé, que nous connaissons à ce jour.

En 1687, dans l'église de Saint. Catherine reposait le «prince des astronomes», le fameux Hevelius.

À la fin du 16ème siècle, la tour de l'église a reçu une horloge qui a frappé des heures.
En 1738, 35 cloches y ont été installées, fabriquées aux Pays-Bas.
