Biskupiec, Medieval city in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland
Biskupiec is a city in northern Poland with a well-preserved medieval layout and Gothic buildings throughout its core. The central square serves as the focal point, with gently rolling terrain surrounding the historic town.
The Prince-Bishops of Warmia founded Biskupiec in 1395, granting town privileges under Kulm law. This early establishment shaped its development as a regional center.
The Cultural Centre in the Zatorze district preserves local traditions through exhibitions and performances that bring regional history to life. Visitors can experience how the past continues to shape everyday practices in this community.
The town offers accommodations and restaurants near the central square, with good connections to public transportation. The compact size makes it easy to explore on foot, especially the well-preserved medieval core.
The first barrel beer brewery in Poland operated here, shaping the local economy for generations. The historic brewery buildings still stand as reminders of this important industrial chapter.
