Originally it was the church of the Order of the Holy Savior, founded by Saint. Swedish Brigade. In the 1980s, the then priest, priest Henryk Jankowski, made the temple a center of struggle against the communist regime and a place of support for Solidarity activists. In the Basilica there is a 10-meter wide and 12-meter high - the world's largest Amber Altar.
The altar was designed by prof. Stanisław Radwański, rector of the Gdańsk Academy of Fine Arts, and the performance was undertaken by the Pomeranian artist, amberman, Mariusz Drapikowski. The first elements of the altar - the crown of Madonna and Child Jesus - were consecrated in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. The altar is created thanks to the money and amber sacrifices given by the faithful.
In 1374, the funeral procession of St. Swedish Brigade. A sarcophagus with relics was placed in the penitence chapel, which was later incorporated into the church's cloister. During World War II, Soviet soldiers destroyed the temple. It was rebuilt only in the 1970s - it regained its former form, but it was not possible to recreate the interior design.
