Toruń

Few cities in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship have a history as closely tied to the Teutonic Order as Toruń. Founded by the order in 1233, it developed into an important Hanseatic trading town on the Vistula. Its remarkably intact medieval core, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997, is defined by Brick Gothic churches, merchant houses and the Old Town Hall. Toruń is also the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, born here in 1473, and remains closely associated with traditional gingerbread.
