Nicolaus Copernicus native house in Toruń

Nicolaus Copernicus native house in Toruń, Medieval astronomer's residence in Toruń, Poland.

The Gothic house features a distinct sharp-edged portal, decorative brick friezes, and vertical niches adorned with tracery patterns on its renovated facade.

Originally constructed as a granary in 1370, the building became the property of the Copernicus family in the late 15th century through Lucas Watzenrode's acquisition.

The museum exhibits include period furniture, astronomical instruments, and a detailed scale model of medieval Toruń from the year 1500.

The museum, located at Kopernika 15-17 street, maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours in multiple languages throughout the week.

Visitors can examine replicas of Copernicus's astronomical instruments, including the astrolabe, triquetrum, and quadrant, while exploring his reconstructed study.
