The first parish priest of Lidzbark in the years 1305-1321 was Fr. Heynemann, who performed priestly ministry in a wooden church. Probably the first wooden church in Lidzbark was burnt down in 1311 by the Lithuanian prince Witenes. The date of consecration of the wooden church from 1315 under the invocation of Saints Peter and Paul.
The construction of a brick temple was carried out in the second half of the 14th century in the form of a three-nave, five-span hall. The church has stellar vaults from the end of the 14th century in the nave and aisles, and from the 15th century in the tower chapels. The church tower, initially low with a wooden superstructure, was built in the last years of the 14th century and was raised in the next two centuries to the present height of 66 m. a baroque turret, and the church tower is decorated with a cupola with three pyramidal lanterns ending with a flag with the coat of arms of bishop Teodor Potocki. The church was expanded in the years 1892-1896, when a neo-Gothic three-nave basilica chancel, a new sacristy and side porches were added on the eastern side.
The most important collections of the Lidzbark parish treasury include:
- herma st. Ida from around 1420 with a silver crown from the 20th century.
- gothic chalices (two from the 15th century and one from the 16th century)
- a pacifier (cross) from the 16th century - with a foot and a nodus from the beginning of the 18th century, with a 16th-century cross on it.
- a pacific from the 13th century and a complete monstrance from the 18th century

Clock Tower and Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The clock tower in Lidzbark Warmiński is a modern reconstruction of the former castle bailey tower. The original structure, dating from the Middle Ages and modified in the modern period, was demolished in the 19th century during the Prussian authorities' demolition of the castle bailey buildings. The current tower was rebuilt in 2011 based on archaeological research and iconographic sources, including 18th-century depictions. It is part of the developed castle bailey and an example of contemporary historical reconstruction, not a preserved monument.

It can be climbed for free from inside the Krasicki Hotel. At the top, there is an observation deck.

Church of Saints Peter and Paul

Highlight • Religious Site

Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul - Orthodox parish church in Lidzbark Warmiński.
Built in 1818–1823 as an Evangelical church.
The construction was financed by the Prussian King Frederick William III.
In 1950, it was acquired by the Orthodox Church and converted into an Orthodox church. In the second decade of the 21st century, it was thoroughly renovated.
A wooden building with a half-timbered structure on a stone foundation; timbered, it is a three-nave, five-span emporium basilica, with a shallow chancel to the north and a two-tower facade to the south. Inside, the gallery is supported by four-sided pillars, open to the nave with wide semicircular arcades. There is a modern iconostasis inside the temple.

This late-gothic building, erected in 1352 (other sources mention the years 1466-78), is the only one of the three gates that led to the town at that time. Two other gates, Dobromiejska and Młyńska, unfortunately, have not survived to our times, the aforementioned High Gate has also survived only in a fragmentary form because it is exactly a foregate. There used to be a barbican at the foregate, which was removed in 1868, and despite the fact that the gate did not survive in its original shape, it still pretends to be the most monumental building of this type in Warmia and Masuria, representing the Gothic style. It is classified as a first-class monument for a reason.

It was built of red brick, it is four-storey, there are two semicircular towers on the sides, they are connected by the main gate body with the central part of the ground floor, i.e. the pointed passage.

The gate had various functions, incl. it was a modern bastion adapted to artillery fights at that time. This is evidenced by the year 1520, when during the siege it was a place of sharp fire exchange. It was in memory of these events that stone spheres were built into the walls in various places. In 1850, the upper part was rebuilt, and in 1868 the whole was taken over by the state authorities, including a court arrest, which functioned until the end of World War I. It is from this period that the characteristic blinds, i.e. bricked up windows, come from. It is a pity that this building, which is comparable to other objects of this type in Poland, is devoid of sightseeing. Its charms can only be admired from the outside.
