Fortifications and ramparts to visit Chełmno

One of the most impressive monuments in Chełmno's landscape, these authentic ramparts stretch for just over 2 km (2,270 m) and are a pleasant walk with great views of the city and its surroundings. The fortifications were built in the 13th-14th centuries to replace the old wooden walls. Originally with 25 towers, 17 of them are still perfectly preserved. Finish by walking down the hill to the edge of the Vistula River. The main entrance to the city was through Grudziądzka Street.

It marks the entrance to the old town. It dates from the 14th century. Around 1620, a Dutch Renaissance chapel with a beautiful pietà was added to it. The gate originally existed as a tower with adjacent defensive walls on both sides (in its side walls you can still see traces of passages to guard porches). There was once a municipal prison here. In 1694, a Renaissance chapel was built, thanks to which the gate avoided demolition in the 19th century.
