The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist in Toruń – a Gothic brick church, a former parish church of Toruń's Old Town.

The history of the church in this place (over the centuries there were several versions of the building) begins in the 13th century.

In the 15th century, in the fourth version, the church was given its final shape, preserved to this day.

The church is one of the most magnificent examples of Gothic architecture in the Chełmno region.

It contains Gothic paintings from the 14th century. On the eastern wall there are figures of the church's patrons – St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist from around 1360, on the northern wall there is a large and iconographically developed scene from around 1380–90 depicting the Crucifixion on the Tree of Jesse, and around it the Last Judgement.
