Would you like to learn about the history of the Old Town?
The Old Town in Gdańsk is the northern part of the Śródmieście district, picturesquely situated on the Radunia Canal, built by the Teutonic Knights in the 14th century. This canal, a unique piece of hydraulic engineering, played a key role in Gdańsk's economic development, enabling the construction of the Great Mill, the largest production facility in medieval Europe. The Old Town also boasts numerous valuable historical monuments, such as the Old Town Hall, St. Catherine's Church, St. Joseph's Church, and the House of the Abbots of Pelplin.
Today, even though each of these monuments now serves a different function, the area around the Radunia Canal still bustles with life, being home to many of the city’s cultural institutions. During the walk with our guide we will uncover the secrets of the Old Town and its residents, and learn the history of the Radunia Canal. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit the exhibitions of the Gdańsk University Museum: the permanent exhibition and the temporary exhibition „Generosity of Forms: Alfons Łosowski”, as well as the hallway of the House of the Abbots of Pelplin, normally closed to the public. The walk will end at The Oblates’ Tea House, set in a medieval monastery cellar, which will be the perfect finish to the journey.
