Olsztyn

Developing around a Teutonic Order castle on the Łyna River, Olsztyn grew into the capital of Poland’s Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The city stands amid Warmia’s lake-dotted terrain, with the Łyna running through its centre. Gothic Olsztyn Castle housed Nicolaus Copernicus while he administered Warmia; an astronomical table he created to help determine the equinox survives on a castle wall. The red-brick Cathedral of St James and the Old Town preserve the city’s medieval character, while the Copernicus Planetarium continues its connection with astronomy.
