Granary Island in Gdańsk, Island in Gdańsk, Poland.

Located between two branches of the Motława River, Granary Island extends across the waterfront with multiple bridges connecting it to the mainland.

The island housed 315 grain storage facilities by 1643, establishing Gdańsk as the largest Baltic Sea port with a capacity of 250,000 tons.

Three original granaries survived World War II: Steffen, Deo Gloria, and Wisłoujście, representing the architectural heritage of maritime trade infrastructure.

The redeveloped area now includes hotels, apartments, restaurants, retail spaces, and underground parking facilities accessible through new pedestrian bridges.

Each granary received individual names, such as Bear Dance, maintaining these designations even after structures were replaced with modern warehouses.
