Gdańsk-Lower Town Deanery

The Gdańsk-Dolne Miasto Deanery is one of the 24 deaneries of the Archdiocese of Gdańsk, located in Gdańsk and nearby municipalities. The deanery's area includes districts such as Stogi with Przeróbka, Krakowiec-Górki Zachodnie, Sobieszewska Island, and Dolne Miasto, which is part of Gdańsk's city center. In addition to Gdańsk's districts, the deanery also covers villages from the municipalities of Pruszcz Gdański and Cedry Wielkie. The deanery is headed by Fr. Stanisław Linda, the parish priest of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows. The deanery comprises 7 parishes, which play an important role in the religious and social life of the local community. Architecturally, the region stands out for its diversity of styles, ranging from historic religious buildings to modern investments. Culturally, the deanery combines the tradition of Catholic life with the rich history of Gdańsk, a city with a profound heritage. An interesting aspect is its proximity to areas of natural significance, such as Sobieszewska Island, as well as its involvement in organizing various local events that bring together residents and pilgrims. Neighboring deaneries, such as Gdańsk-Śródmieście, Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz, and Żuławy Steblewskie, form a network of connections, fostering the exchange of experiences and cooperation among parishes. Interestingly, Dolne Miasto, with its unique history, serves not only religious functions but also social, cultural, and educational ones, making it an important point on the map of Gdańsk.
