Oliwa Cathedral (Katedra Oliwska) is a medieval Cistercian church in the Oliwa district, famous for its remarkable Rococo organ with 7,876 pipes and a series of moving figures. The 107-meter-long nave makes it one of the longest churches in Poland, and its ornate Baroque interior contrasts dramatically with the austere Romanesque-Gothic exterior.
Founded by Cistercian monks in 1186, the cathedral has survived fires, wars, and secularization. The current organ was built by Johann Wilhelm Wulff and is one of the finest Baroque instruments in Europe.
