The Old Town in Torun

Toruń earned its place in the history of architecture due to the Old Town located on the Vistula right bank, the layout of which has not changed for the last 700 years. In the medieval market and surrounding streets there are several hundred Gothic monuments, with the Leaning Tower being the most peculiar. After Kraków, Torun houses the greatest number of real monuments of Gothic art and architecture in Poland.

The City Hall at the market, deemed to be one of the most outstanding achievements of bourgeois Gothic architecture in Europe, is part of the Toruń's Old Town panorama. Moreover, the premises built by the Brethrens include in particular monumental, Gothic churches preserved until today: St. Johns', St. Jacob, St. Mary Elevation and non-existing St. Nicolas church.

The building material is very characteristic for Toruń: Churches, tenements and defence walls - almost all monuments of Toruń are made of brick. Owing to the fact that Toruń was not damaged during II World Wide War, even today you can admire Gothic and medieval Toruń in the form the inhabitants of that time gave it. Today Toruń is associated first of all with great astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus whereas for children the most important landmark of Toruń are delicious gingerbreads.
