Oliwa Cathedral

Also known as Oliwa Abbey

Oliwa Cathedral is a church in the Oliwa district of Gdańsk, Poland, originally the church of a Cistercian abbey founded in 1186 by Duke Sambor I of Pomerelia. The abbey was the burial place of the Samboride dukes, and the Treaty of Oliva, which ended the Second Northern War, was signed there in 1660. Since 1925 the church has been a cathedral, and it is famous for its organ.
