Church Path, Elbląg, Poland
It is a narrow passage between reconstructed tenement houses and connects two streets of the Old Town – Holy Spirit Street and Bridge Street. Its name comes from the two churches it once connected – Dominican and St. Nicholas. In the Middle Ages, it was used by the faithful and monks to move faster from one church to another.
The entire passage of the Elbląg Church Path is bulging with 10 Gothic, strutted and two-level arches. Its route once led from the Old Town to the gate of the former Dominican Church (today Galeria El). It was slightly longer then. The part leading to the monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary was unfortunately destroyed. The fragment of the Church Path that survived is now one of the original and few preserved medieval elements in the Elbląg Old Town. The rest was devastated during World War II.
