Braniewo, Medieval Hanseatic port in Warmia region, Poland
The town sits at the intersection of trade routes near the Pasłęka River, featuring preserved medieval walls and Gothic architecture from its Hanseatic period.
Established in 1254 under Lübeck law, Braniewo served as a major trading center until its annexation by Prussia during the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
The Jesuit College, founded in 1565, transformed the city into an educational center, contributing to the preservation of Catholic traditions in northern Poland.
The central market square connects to major transportation routes, providing access to the Baltic coast and serving as a regional administrative center.
The city maintains a book printing tradition dating from 1589, when it received special privileges as one of two authorized printing centers in Eastern Prussia.
