ESKEN PALACE

Nicknamed the "Red Granary", this former medieval residence belonged to the Esken family in the ^mid-15th century. In the late ^16th century, it was modified and transformed into a Renaissance palace. At the end of the ^19th century, it became a granary and then a reserve for the Prussian army. Today, it houses the history and archaeology department of the Regional Museum. There's an exhibition on life in Toruń from prehistory to the Middle Ages, and a display tracing the various stages of German rule in the ^19th century.
