Rypin

The largest stained-glass window in Europe!

One of the most interesting tourist attractions of Rypin is the stained-glass windows in the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus which depicts the famous Last Supper. The stained-glass window is located in the central part of the temple and covers the floor surface of 212 m², which makes it the largest stained-glass window in Europe and second largest in the world. It was designed and made entirely by two artists from Rypin, Elżbieta and Andrzej Bednarski.

Jewish cemetery

The first Jews came to Rypin in the 16th century, and the Jewish community was established in mid-17th century. There were three Jewish cemeteries in Rypin. No information can be found on the first one, the second, dating back to the 18th century is lost without a single trace left. And the youngest cemetery from the 18th or 19th century was destroyed by the Germans during World War II. The tombstones were used for building works.
In the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, some of the matzevot were recovered. In 1990, there was a lapidary erected in the cemetery plot, that is, a semi-circular wall, on which the found matzevot and fragments thereof were mounted.

Evangelical-Augsburg Church

The construction of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Rypin began in 1883 and ended in 1888. The church was built from red bricks in neo-gothic style, in basilica arrangement with the main nave higher than the side naves. The roof and the towers are decorated with pinnacles.
The church is 30 metres long, 110 metres wide, 10 metres high (without the tower). The interiors house a three-part altar, a carved pulpit, stylish benches and galleries. The church is decorated with a rich polychrome. In 1892, two bells were purchased, but only one survived to the present day. The tower clock was bought in 1911 in Prague.
