Throughout the 15th century the largest building project north of the Alps was the Marienkirche in Danzig (presently Gdansk in Poland). When work on rebuilding was completed, the church had an aisled nave, chapels of the same height, a choir, and asymmetrical transepts. Each aisle has its own roof, the portals plus a large window are positioned in an ogival niche, and the building has a tower with pier buttresses.
The vaulting of the interior was largely done in the "cell technique" taken over from the secular architecture of Saxony. The photo shows the cell vault.
