City Introduction

Toruń is a city with an exciting history and many sights. It was founded by knights of the Teutonic Order, who built a castle on the site in the mid-13th century as a base for missions in Prussia. Later, Toruń was a member of the Hanseatic League and an important trading post between the Baltic area and Eastern Europe, and this made the city flourish.

The medieval city of Toruń is well preserved, and it is not without reason that this part of the city has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The entire urban environment is full of atmosphere with several important houses in the so-called brick Gothic style, such as the home of the mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In the district you can also see other architectural styles such as Renaissance and Baroque.

There are several beautiful squares in Toruń where the old and the new market squares, Rynek Staromiejski and Rynek Nowomiejski, are the most famous. At the old market square, you can see two of the city’s beautiful churches and the city’s town hall, where you can visit the Toruń Regional Museum. Close to this is the city’s cathedral, which is one of the city’s many architectural monuments from the Gothic era.

You can also take a walk along the river Wisła, where you can see the beautifully preserved city walls from the fortifications of Toruń. You can see the city gate Brama Mostowa, and by the city walls you should notice the city’s famous leaning tower.
