Kościoły Torunia, Medieval church buildings in Torun, Poland
Description
The churches of Torun are brick places of worship with soaring interiors, pointed arches, and red walls that have shaped the city for centuries. Each has its own floor plan and different decorative elements on its facades.
History
The city of Torun originally had nine medieval churches, built starting in the 13th century. Only three remain standing and tell the story of when the city was a major trading center.
Culture
These churches carry the names of saints and show how religious life shaped the city. On their red brick walls, you can still see the significance these places held for people then and hold today.
Practical
You can visit the churches during daytime hours and should watch your step on the stairs and uneven floors inside. Some areas are narrow with low passages, so wear comfortable shoes for walking around.

The Tuba Dei is a massive bell from 1500 that still hangs in the bell tower and rings today. This medieval bell is one of the largest from its era and surprises visitors with its loud, deep sound.
