City walls of Grudziądz, Medieval fortification system in Grudziądz, Poland.
The defensive walls form an elongated quadrilateral along the Vistula River, featuring seven towers and four main entrance gates into the city.
Initially constructed with wood and earth after Grudziądz's establishment in 1291, the walls were upgraded to brick structures during the 14th century.
The fortification complex represents the architectural heritage of medieval Poland, demonstrating the period's military engineering and urban planning techniques.
Sections of the original walls, including parts of the Water Gate, remain accessible to visitors interested in exploring medieval defensive architecture.
The walls incorporated an innovative water distribution system with elevated water towers to overcome the challenges of the city's location on a high escarpment.
