Toruń, Medieval Gothic town in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
The historic heart of Torun contains Gothic structures, brick churches, and fortified walls along the Vistula River, forming a complete medieval urban ensemble.
Founded by Teutonic Knights in 1233, Torun developed into a major trading center and joined the Hanseatic League, establishing strong commercial networks across Europe.
The city maintains its gingerbread making tradition through multiple bakeries that produce pierniki according to recipes dating from medieval times.
Located 200 kilometers northwest of Warsaw, Torun connects to major Polish cities through regular train services from its central railway station.
The house where astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born in 1473 now functions as a museum displaying original astronomical instruments and period furniture.
