St Mary’s Church
The tradition has it that St Mary’s Church (late-Gothic architecture, dated at the fi rst half of the 15th century) replaced Dabrówka’s (Mieszko I’s wife) chapel. The soaring red brick building scores high on the list of Wielkopolska’s most beautiful Gothic monuments. The starry vault still has a tremendous effect on visitors. The church has been reinforced for the last couple of years. Once the reinforcement process is fi nished, archeologists will be able to start research under the building. It is worth noting that this is the place where Mieszko I’s palladium was discovered.

The Psalter house
The Psalter house, the harbor of psalter priests (obliged to sing psalms in the cathedral), dated at the beginning of the 16th century, is adjacent to St Mary’s Church. The psalter was founded by one of the most prominent clericals of the time, bishop Jan Lubranski. His crest, Godziemba, still ornaments the east elevation. The building replaced an earlier wooden canonical curia.
