Castle mill in Toruń, Medieval building near Old Town, Toruń, Poland
The Castle Mill in Toruń is a stone structure with medieval origins that stands at the edge of the Old Town between the riverbank and the historic core. The building preserves elements from its time as a grain mill, including thick walls, Gothic details, and a system of basement chambers beneath the ground floor.
The building was constructed in the late 13th century by the Teutonic Knights as a water mill for grinding grain and relied on the power of the nearby river. Over the centuries it served various purposes and was eventually converted into a hotel in modern times, with many original structural features remaining intact.
The mill's name reflects the era of its founding and speaks to its role in the city's medieval economy. Visitors can still observe traces of this industrial past in the stone vaults and walls that run through the structure.
The building is easy to reach as it sits close to the main square and the city's key attractions. Visitors should note that narrow staircases and low ceilings in some areas are typical of medieval construction, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
The complex contains a sophisticated system of cellars that were originally built for storing grain and flour and are still visible beneath the hotel today. These underground spaces show how medieval craftsmen combined storage and production within a single structure.
