The granaries in Grudziądz are a unique complex of medieval grain warehouses built on the Vistula escarpment. Their massive walls served both a defensive function and protected against landslides. The characteristic silhouette of the granaries, visible from the Vistula, has become a symbol of the city. Today, some of the buildings have been adapted for museum and residential purposes. The panorama of the granaries from the river is one of the most recognizable views on the entire Vistula Bike Trail.

Old Market Square in Grudziądz

Highlight • Historical Site

The small market square is surrounded by nicely restored colorful tenement houses, which, unfortunately, are mainly reconstructions of buildings that existed before World War II. The Old Town Square has been renovated and looks well-kept, and in the streets leading from the square there are several cozy cafes and restaurants. The most charming one is probably the alley with umbrellas.

Castle Hill and Klimek Tower

Highlight • Castle

On the highest hill in Grudziądz, in the years 1260-1299, the Teutonic Order erected a fortified castle. Built on a quadrilateral plan with the most important rooms in the southern wing (refectory, chapel) and dormitories (knights' apartments) from the west. In the northern and eastern parts of the castle, utility rooms were built, e.g. kitchen, bakery, brewery and hospital. In the courtyard of the castle, a free-standing defensive tower called Klimek was built, which also served as a prison during peacetime. A 50 m deep well was also dug in the courtyard.

The castle was destroyed many times, mainly during the Swedish wars. From 1781, on the order of the King of Prussia, Frederick II, the castle was dismantled in batches, and the bricks from the demolition were mainly used to build the wall in the Reformati Monastery and fortifications on the citadel.

Only the Klimek tower and the well remained of the castle. Klimek was finally blown up by German troops on March 5, 1945. In 2013-2014, the relics of the Teutonic castle were revitalized. As a result, the walls of the castle and the castle well, currently about 20 meters deep, were exposed. An observation tower was built, modeled on the former Klimek castle tower, whose characteristic decorative elements are strips of glazed dark green brick.

From the twenty-three meter tower you can admire the wonderful panorama of the city and the Vistula valley, and on clear days you can see the buildings of Chełmno, Świecie and Nowy nad Wisłą.
