The Kruszwica temple was built in the beginning of the 12th century. It is made of granite and sandstone blocks. Being a tri-nave pillared basilica, it was erected on the plan of the Latin cross. The Romanesque character of the object is emphasized by the bold, stone walls, semicircular arches and basic geometrial shapes. The church interior is very severe, almost ascetical. Naves, a transept and presbytery are covered with a massive roof, vaults of apses are made of small stone and flints, and the oldest crossed stone arches vaults in Poland are still present in tower porches. The east facade of the object is an interesting composition of five symmetrically placed apses. The south part of the building is decorated with there Romanesque portals. The west basement is made of stone in the Romanesque style, while the upper brick massif is in the gothic style.
