Things to see and do Chełmno

It was rebuilt between 1567 and 1572 in Renaissance style on a ^12th-century Gothic base. In 1595, the tower was added, followed by a clock. On its southwest façade, you can still see the pręt chełminski, 4.35 m long, the town's unit of measurement from the Middle Ages until the ^19th century. Today, it houses a small regional museum(Muzeum Ziemi Chelminskiej). On display are a jumble of ancient crafts and modern art. The exhibition itself is modest, but the rooms are superb, so the museum is a good pretext.

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.

Chełmińska Informacja Turystyczna is the tourist office for the town of Chełmno. The office offers guided tours of the city in Polish and other languages, with prices varying according to the length of the visit. It also provides information on cultural events, restaurants, accommodation, as well as outdoor activities such as horse riding, fishing, sailing, kayaking, cycling and hiking trails.

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.
