Chełmno, Medieval Hanseatic city in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
The town center features Gothic churches, Renaissance town hall, and preserved city walls forming a complete medieval urban layout near the Vistula River.
Founded in 1233 under Kulm law by the Teutonic Knights, Chełmno developed into a major trading center within the Hanseatic League network.
The five Gothic churches, including the Church of St. Mary and Saints James and Nicholas, display northern European architectural influences from the Middle Ages.
Visitors can access the town's historical monuments through guided tours that start at the main market square and cover the medieval defensive walls.
The Kulm law, originally created for Chełmno in 1233, became the basis for legal systems in hundreds of cities across Eastern Europe.
