Targ Drzewny in Gdańsk, Medieval market square in Main Town, Gdańsk, Poland

Targ Drzewny functions as a central roundabout connecting Podwale Staromiejskie, Szeroka, Garncarska, and Kowalska streets in the heart of Gdańsk.

The square, first documented in 1581, was established as a wood trading center, and in 1659 witnessed the execution of Anna Krüger during witch trials.

The central green area features a monument of King Jan III Sobieski, relocated from Lviv and installed in 1965, replacing an earlier German memorial.

The square houses the editorial office of Dziennik Bałtycki newspaper and connects to major transportation routes throughout the Main Town district.

Twenty individuals faced witch trial accusations in this location, making it a significant site in the judicial history of medieval Gdańsk.
