Outside the wall? A strange but accurate name that refers to St. John’s location on the outer side of the Medieval defensive wall that once surrounded the city. This is he oldest standing church in Poznań and the city's second-oldest building after the Cathedral. It was built for the Knights of Malta at the turn of the12th century in the Romanesque style, with the nave and presbytery in a Venedic arrangement. After a fire in 1512 a star-vaulted ceiling was built over the nave and a nave and tower were added to the north side. Age aside, the building's main draw is a rare Late Gothic painted triptych from the early 16th century and its location on the shores of Lake Malta.
