The Primatial Basilica Metropolitan Cathedral of Gniezno is a brick Gothic cathedral in the historic city of Gniezno, Poland, that served as the coronation place for several Polish monarchs and as a seat of Polish church officials for nearly a thousand years. It is known for its two-winged bronze doors, dated to about 1175 and decorated with scenes of the martyrdom of St. Adalbert of Prague, and for a silver relic coffin of that saint made in 1662 to replace one stolen by the Swedes in 1655. It was designated a Historical Monument of Poland on 16 September 1994.
