Biskupia Górka

Bischofsberg is a hill in Gdańsk with elevated vantage points from which you can see across the city and toward the Baltic Sea coast. The area features walking paths, green spaces, and historical structures spread across the terrain.

The site was fortified in the 17th century to defend Gdańsk against military threats. After World War II, it became the location of significant post-war proceedings.

The site reflects the religious diversity that shaped the district over centuries, with traces of different communities visible in the architecture and layout. Walking through the area, you notice how these various groups left their mark on the neighborhood.

The hill is reachable via several walking trails from the city center and accessible to visitors year-round. The paths are generally well-maintained, making it easy to move around the area.

The site features a memorial related to a 1946 proceeding in which those responsible for wartime crimes were held accountable. This memorial serves as an important location for visitors to reflect on that difficult chapter of history.
