Medieval Town of Toruń, UNESCO World Heritage medieval district in Toruń, Poland

The Medieval Town of Toruń displays extensive Gothic architecture with red brick buildings, defensive walls, gates, towers, and merchant houses along the Vistula River.

Founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1233, the town developed into a major Hanseatic trading port and maintains its original medieval street layout from that period.

The birthplace of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus houses multiple museums, including the Regional Museum in the Old Town Hall with exhibits of local history.

The historic center contains numerous accommodation options, restaurants serving regional cuisine, and guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.

The town preserves a centuries-old tradition of making gingerbread, with bakeries still producing these treats using medieval recipes and wooden molds.
