The Saint Nicholas' Cathedral with its distinctive belltower resembling Italian campanile dominates over Bielsko-Biała. Despite the fact that its origins date back to the 15th century, it is difficult to find any Gothic traces in its architecture. It is due to the renovation from the beginning of the last century. It gave the neo-Romanesque appearance to the building. Inside the church we can encounter many styles. The church has an interesting history. It was several times burnt down by fires and looted by soldiers. In 1992, the church became the cathedral of the newly created diocese of Bielsko and Żywiec.
