Chełm

Chełm is a residential neighborhood in the Upper Terrace of Gdańsk, covering approximately 3.89 square kilometers with elevations between 50 and 60 meters. The terrain slopes gently, shaping how streets and buildings are arranged throughout the district.

The area was first documented as Nowa Górka before 1516 and belonged to Kujavian bishops in its early history. It later developed as Stolzenberg with its own administrative structure.

The Church of St. Urszula Ledóchowska serves as a focal point where residents gather for worship and community events. These activities shape the social rhythm of daily life in the neighborhood.

A steep tram line has connected this neighborhood to downtown Gdańsk since 2007, making it easily accessible from the city center. Multiple bus routes also serve the district and link it to surrounding areas of the metropolitan region.

The neighborhood actively transforms concrete spaces into green areas through community-driven environmental projects. These grassroots initiatives reflect local commitment to improving daily living conditions.
