The oldest tenement house in the Market Square is at Rynek 20, called ‘Pod Łabędziem’ (‘Under the Swan’), dating from the turn of the 17th century. The tenement house was built after connecting two older houses by a common facade.

The ‘Polish Soldier’ monument is seen in the central part of the Market Square. It replaced the former Independence Monument, which was destroyed by the Nazis in 1939. The Market Square was renovated in 2010. Its former pavement was restored, street lights modeled after 19th century lanterns were installed, and the monument base was mod- eled after the previous pedestal from the beginning of the past century. 06 07 ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH chapels of the Kostka family and the octagonal chapel of the Działyński family were added from the north. Since 1622 until construction of their The church was built in the Gothic style, facing the east, featuring own church, the chapel belonged to the Jesuits. A chapel was added from the nave and two side aisles. The chancel is closed from three sides the south in 1632; it was probably reconstructed as today’s vestibule. and has a sacristy in the north. The nave is taller than the side aisles. Statues of Saints Andrew, Paul, Peter and Jude Thaddeus are seen in the lower story of the high altar; statues of Saints John Nepomucene, Gregory the Great, Nicholas and Francis Xavier – in the upper story; whereas a statue of St. Mary and Child is seen in the finial. The central field of the altar features a painting of St. Nicholas made by Jerzy Hop- pen in 1950; the upper story – a depiction of the Holy Trinity by Leonard Torwirt dating from 1950; and an image of St. George in the finial. In front of the chancel, on the right, there is a 13th century baptismal font in the Gotland style, decorated with floral ornaments, dragons and mascarons, with a Romanesque granite goblet.

During the Swedish occupation in 1655–1659 the church was once again a Protestant place of prayer. During warfare, it was damaged by fire in 1659. In 1728, the Baroque high altar was added to the thor- oughly renovated Fara Church. In 1738, the roof on the tower was re- placed with a Baroque dome, and a fleche was built in 1769. In the same century, the terracotta statues from the old castle chapel were built in the western part of the steeple, from the direction of the river. At the turn of the 19th century, the Chapel of St. Michael the Archangel, as well as the chapels of the Kostka and Działyński families were pulled down. In 1939, polychromes – fragments of Gothic murals were unveiled. The church was consumed by fire during the siege of the city in 1945. The side altars, designed by L. Torwirt in 1954, feature components After the war, the steeple was rebuilt. In addition, the church regained the dating from the turn of the 18th century. The northern aisle presents bells dating from 1482 and 1777 that were taken to Germany.

In the middle of the altar, there is a 17th century paint- ing of St. Mary and Child in a silver, embossed robe dating from the 18th century, decorated with two gilded crowns consecrated by Pope John Paul II on March 9, 2002. Other historic objects seen in the church in- clude 17th century paintings depicting the Virgin and Child with St. Anne, St. Nicholas painted on board, the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary which, according to legend, comes from the castle chapel, 18th centu- ry image of St. Anthony in a Neogothic frame, and two medieval, gran- ite baptismal fonts dating from the 13th/14th centuries in the vestibule and under the steeple. The steeple blends in the nave. Over the nave, from the east, there is a fleche with an octagonal lantern. Construc- tion of the church started in 1286. The chancel was built before 1310. The nave was built around the mid-14th century, whereas the side aisles and steeple date from the turn of the 15th century. Sessions of the gen- eral council were held in the church in the 16th century. In 1572–1598, the church was taken over by the Protestants.

JESUIT COLLEGE The college was funded by Chełmno voivode Jan Działyński. The building was erected in 1647–1725 on a rectangular floor plan, featuring two wings from the north. 18th century polychrome with illu- sionistic painting of a dome is seen on the vault in the entrance hall. On the first floor in the western wing there is a refectory with a cavetto vault and lunettes, featuring stucco decoration dating from 1720–1730.

CHURCH OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER Along with the neighbouring college, the church comprises a com- plex funded by Jan Działyński, who brought the Jesuits to Grudziądz in 1622. The church was built in the Baroque style in 1648–1723. A pas- sage to the college was running from the southern room on the second floor of the chancel. In the northern part, there is a sacristy with a box on the second floor. The chancel features a decorated cross vault, where- as the nave has a barrel vault with lunettes and transverse arches. When the Jesuit Order was disbanded in 1718 the building was hous- ing a middle school, and starting from 1816 – a teachers’ training college. In 1897, after the Town Hall in the Grudziądz Market Square was con- sumed by fire, the Municipal Office was moved here, operating in this place to this day. Starting from July 22, 1956, the Grudziądz bugle call composed by Cpt. Stanisław Szpulecki has been played in the Baroque tower. CASTLE HILL The Teutonic Order built a defensive castle on the highest hill in Grudziądz in 1250–1299. This regular building on a square floor plan reminded the Gniew Castle; the only difference was the fact that there was a thirty meter high tower called Klimek between the northern and western wings. The castle was damaged many times, particularly during the wars with Sweden. Since 1781, the castle had been pulled down at the request of Frederick II, King of Prussia. The bricks from the castle were used to build a fence around the youth detention center in the former The walls are adorned with Corinthian pilasters.

In that time, they served as grain warehouses and defensive buildings; after their reconstruction in the 19th and 20th centuries, several of them were turned into residen- tial buildings. The majority of granaries date from the 16th–18th centuries. From the side of the Vistula River, they are multi-story buildings, sup- ported by tall buttresses, and from the direction of the city (Spichrzowa Street) – mostly two-story buildings. Several of them have facade of com- mon tenement houses. Wood structures and beam ceilings are usually well preserved inside these granaries. One of the titbits is cannonballs built in exterior facades.

The Klimek Tower, which constitutes an inseparable part of the Teu- tonic Castle in Grudziądz, was built in the second half of the 13th cen- tury, just like other buildings of the stronghold. Klimek fulfilled first of all military function as the final defense; when the castle was captured by enemy, knights were closing themselves in the tower, waiting for re- lief. Klimek was also serving as a lookout and communication tower. This over 30-meter high tower allowed for viewing the surrounding area with- in a radius of over 20 km on a day with good weather and communication with crews of the nearby Teutonic castles, i.e. in Rogoźno-Castle, Pokrzy- wno, Nowe nad Wisłą, and Świecie. The third role played by Klimek was a prison. A dungeon and two seclusion cells were located on the ground floor. According to legend, the dungeon was used to imprison Mikołaj of Ryńsk, after his capture in May 1411. During the decisive stage of the Battle of Grunwald, this standard-bearer of the Chełmno Land along with Chełmno knights switched sides and moved to support Ladislaus Jag- iełło. Reconstructed in 2014 after warfare, the tower is 23-meter high. Its WATER GATE top with lookout terrace can be accessed by a staircase that turns right. It was built in the early 14th century; in the past it was closed with a portcullis (the present replica serves only as decoration). It was con- sumed by fire in 1659 and 1945, rebuilt from scratch after the war. Built into the city walls, it offered access to the city and castle from the Port Square (Błonia Nadwiślańskie). As a result of the postwar reconstruction, its facade was changed from the direction of the city; that’s why it lost its Gothic character.

The tower offers a breathtaking view of Grudziądz and the Vistula River Valley. Under perfect conditions, one can notice the church steeples of Chełmno situated 30 km away from Klimek.

Opening hours: XI-II: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.; III and X: 9 a.m. -6 p.m.; IV-IX: 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Since 1624, it had served as the church of the Benedictine Nuns. The building was damaged during the wars with Sweden. In 1750–1751, its barrel vault was added, win- dow openings were reconstructed, and stone floor was installed. It also received five sculpted and gilded altars, including the painting of the De- scent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles.

ABBESSES’ PALACE It was built with the convent in 1730. This two-story brick building has exterior plaster and is constructed on a high basement in the Ba- roque style. It features a five-axis front facade with the plinth ground wall surface on the ground floor. Between the church and the nearby convent of the Benedictine Sis- ters a tower with four bells was built. During the partitions of Poland, the tower was demolished. In addition, 18th century gates and statues surrounding the church were pulled down. Since 1900 the church had served as a Catholic place of worship; used as a garrison church and later as an affiliate church of the Parish of St. Nicholas. It was burnt dur- ing the fights for Grudziądz in 1945 and rebuilt in 1956–1959. It features a preserved barrel vault with an elliptical cross section, 18th century choir loft and a crucifix dating from the second half of the 18th century. It was renovated in 2006. Plans include restoration of the Grudziądz polyptych. CITY WALLS The city walls were erected in the beginning of the 14th century.

WORTH SEEING

MUSEUM The Grudziądz Museum was established on 15 June 1884 as the Mu- nicipal Museum of Antiquity, which featured mainly archeological relics. Gradually, the collection came to include historical, ethnographic, art, handicraft and numismatic exhibits. For many years the museum did not have its seat. In 1912 the collections were displayed in a specially con- structed building at 28 Legionów Street.

In 1956 the Museum was shifted to the baroque building of the for- mer Benedictine convent, which was adapted to meet its needs. Since then it has served as the Central Building, which is home to the manage- ment team, the Education and Promotion Section with the library as well as a laboratory, and the storage rooms of the Art Section.

Currently, the Museum, which in 2005 was named after Rev. Wła- dysław Łęga PhD, includes the former monastery gate, the so-called Abbesses’ Palace, and five historical granaries. The complex of the for- mer Benedictine convent is one of the most valuable monuments of ba- roque architecture in Pomerania. The Grudziądz granaries, which are situated on a high embankment, make a unique defensive line – a typical feature of the panorama of the town viewed from the banks of the Vistula river. All the monuments were built in a consistent style characteristic of applied and defensive architecture.

Thanks to its wide range of exhibits, the museum promotes histor- ical and artistic awareness, the material and spiritual culture of the by- gone ages as well as current trends in art. 18 19 THE GALLERY OF MODERN POMERANIAN PAINTING THE HISTORY OF GRUDZIĄDZ Central Building, 3/5 Wodna Street Granary, 9 Spichrzowa Street

WIELKA KSIĘŻA GÓRA FORT • HISTORY OF THE FORT The Wielka Księża Góra Fort was built at the peak of the hill and on its western slope, on artificially formed terraces. The construction works started in 1889 and two infantry shelters and an ammunition shelter were completed just two years later. In the years 1894–1895, a complex of two connected shelters equipped with armor towers – the infantry bar- racks shelter and the armor battery – was built. In the years 1898–1900, another infantry barracks shelter and six two-chamber guardhouses built in the fort’s ramparts were built. Also, five double posts for portable 5.3 mm cannon towers were built in the rampart. Most likely in 1905, a two-chamber medical shelter was built and four reinforced-concrete observation posts were located in the moat. In the years that followed, the fort was electrified and a guardhouse was built at the main gate. The entire fort was surrounded by a fence made from fortress grates and a wide band of barbed wire entanglements. • LAND OF FAIRY TALES AND LEGENDS – It is a world of adventure and magic tales.
