Calvary of Wejherowo

The chapel commemorates Christ's stay in the Garden of Olives. It was built in 1653 and founded by the Cistercian abbot of Oliwa, Aleksander Kęsowski. The founder is evidenced by the abbot's hat with a crosier placed above the main entrance, and inside the chapel on the rosette bosses, the letters A, K, AO, meaning Aleksander Kęsowski, Abbas Oliviensis (Abbot of Oliwa). Inside the chapel, there are paintings: Christ sweating blood during prayer, and on the sides - the sleeping apostles.

The chapel, built before 1654, was founded by Cecylia Eleonora, the younger daughter of Jakub Wejher from his first marriage to Anna Elżbieta Schaffgotsch. Its interior depicts the moment Christ takes up the Cross, surrounded by armed soldiers. Above the figures, on a Latin cross plan, there is a sandstone canopy structure with Passion ornamentation and family coats of arms. The neo-Gothic brick building, built to protect the sandstone, was erected in 1866 through the efforts of the monastery's guardian at the time.

One of the most beautiful chapels of the Calvary, founded by Jakub Wejher's first wife, Anna Elżbieta ze Schaffgotschów. Built before 1654, the chapel is distinguished by its exquisite rotunda shape on a rose plan and Flemish or Dutch ornamentation. Inside, there is a painting on tin plate depicting the Meeting of Jesus with His Mother. On June 20, 1654, the provincial father Atanazy Kartoszyn celebrated the first Mass here, during which Voivode Jakub Wejher himself served as an altar server.

The oldest chapel, dating from 1649, was founded by Father Mateusz Jan Judycki, the first urban planner of Wejherowo and a close friend of Jakub Wejher. Under a stone canopy, there is a sculpture of Christ falling under the cross. It was encased in a ""Prussian wall"" (timber framing) in the 19th century.

The construction of the chapel was completed by 1654; its founders were the courtiers of Jakub Wejher, and it was the third calvary chapel in sequence. The prominent sculptures depict Christ carrying the cross on his shoulder, being helped by Simon of Cyrene, who is dressed in fishing garments. This is one of those accents that connects the Wejherowo Calvary with the occupations of the region's people.

The Chapel of St. Veronica was founded as the fifth in the Wejherowo Calvary by Anna Teresa, the daughter of Jakub Wejher and Anna Elżbieta Schaffgotsch. The chapel was erected before 1654. The chapel's timber-frame casing dates from the second half of the 19th century, housing a hewn stone canopy that shields the figure of St. Veronica holding the veil. The pillars are decorated with the coats of arms of Jakub Wejher and Anna Elżbieta Schaffgotsch, a pine cone motif, and symbols of the Passion.

The Chapel of the Gate of Tears belongs to the series of eight chapels founded by Jakub Wejher by 1654. Through this gate, the condemned were led out of Jerusalem to their death; Christ was also led through it before his crucifixion. On the left side, a niche is closed by double doors opening outwards, behind which, as if in a glass case, is a painting showing the Second Fall of Christ. On the outer walls of the chapel, there are 22 indentations symbolizing large teardrops.

This is the smallest chapel belonging to the foundation of Jakub Wejher, which was built before 1657. The oil painting on the wall dates from the late 19th century and is by an unknown author. The painting depicts Jesus comforting the weeping women; behind them, the buildings of Jerusalem are visible in the background.

At the very summit of Golgotha stands the largest and most magnificent of the chapels, known as the Church. It has its own sacristy and also had its own organ choir until World War II. It was founded by Anna Wejherówna, daughter of Demetriusz Wejher, between 1652 and 1654. Father Grzegorz's chronicle states that on May 30, 1654, three crosses with Christ and the Thieves were solemnly placed in it. This event was witnessed by Jakub Wejher, his second wife Joanna Katarzyna z Radziwiłłów, both daughters from his first marriage, Anna Teresa and Cecylia Eleonora, and many others gathered. Noteworthy is the panoramic painting on the wall depicting the raising of the cross and a deliberately made crack in the wall, alluding to the torn veil in the Jerusalem temple. It is the central place for Calvary services.

The chapel was founded by Jakub Wejher's second wife, Joanna Katarzyna z Radziwiłłów, between 1654 and 1665. The original chapel, in the form of a freestanding apse, was built over in the mid-19th century with a timber-frame structure. Inside, an apse was set up with the Calvary Pietà, full of penetrating sorrow. It is a polychrome wooden sculpture depicting Our Lady of Sorrows with the dead body of her Son.

The chapel, built by 1657, was founded by Jakub Wejher. It is located at the foot of the last Calvary hill, called Golgotha. Inside, the original ceiling paintings of angels with symbols of the Passion have been preserved. In the interior, on a one-step elevation, there is a full-figure sculpture of Christ depicted in his heavy third fall under the cross.

The chapel was founded by Joanna Katarzyna, the second wife of Jakub Wejher, before 1665. The Chapel of the Stripping is among the smaller buildings of this Calvary, giving the impression of an enclosed roadside "Wayside Shrine". It contains a wall painting by an unknown artist, depicting the stripping of Christ.

The chapel, founded by Jakub Wejher, was built during the first stage of the Calvary's creation, i.e., before 1657. Erected on a very narrow rectangle, its interior features a wall painting by an unknown author, depicting the nailing of Jesus to the Cross.

The Chapel of Christ's Tomb was founded by Anna Konstancja Wejherówna, daughter of Mikołaj Wejher, the former Voivode of Chełmno. Its construction was completed before 1653. The Holy Sepulchre is the only building in Gdańsk Pomerania made of hewn limestone. It was made in Krakow and transported in parts via the Vistula River to Gdańsk. The interior of the chapel contains an empty vestibule and a burial chamber. Above the roof rises an original tower-lantern with a figure of the Risen Christ.
