The history of the church of st. James the Apostle is closely linked with the history of Western Pomerania. Although the temple suffered as a result of hurricane and military operations that left lasting signs, especially those with the greatest time of World War II and the political obstacles to the communist period – still exists. Unique character and richness raised it to the dignity: June 28th 1972 – the cathedral, and May 3rd1983 – the cathedral basilica. From March 25th 1992, populary called ‘cathedral’. The dignity of the temple, beauty of its yard, architecture and wealth of facilities made it become a center of religious state, as well as a place of pilgrimage groups and individuals not only from Poland. Installed in 2008, the tower and the new organ, and including the floor added ever greater charm, and above all, the unique architectural and wood-carver’s achievements. For sure it would be valuable to give the first church in the Archdiocese of uniform style interior equipment (altar, pulpit and stalls). Also finding many sources and archival materials, which are probably now in Berlin, Bamberg and Greifswald, would increase our knowledge of this particular monument of West Pomerania
