The Town Hall is one of the central points in the Old Town, dating back to the 12th and 14th century, rebuilt in the 16th century. At present, it is considered to be one of the most wonderful elements of the middle-class architecture in Middle Europe.

The Town Hall is now a part of the District Museum. On the ground floor of the Eastern wing, there are exhibits of the Gothic and late Gothic art, including the famous collection of the sacral stained-glass windows from the 14th century. The Western part of the museum is all about the Middle Ages and the modern artistic craftsmanship.

The Town Hall is also the most well-known observation point in Toruń. The 40 m high tower gives you a stunning panorama of the city.

Oh, how could the city of Nicolaus Copernicus lack a Planetarium, of course! It belongs to the most popular and beloved sightseeing points in Toruń. Opened in 1994, it has hosted more than 2 million of visitor since then.

The building dome is approximately 15 m in diameter, and the modern star projector ZEIS RFP shows the most stunning images of the night sky. This place has certainly nothing to feel ashamed about, very often beating many European planetaria!

Everyone will love it – non-professionals will admire the stars and learn, the astronomy specialists will see the constellations they read about with their very own eyes.

The famous Toruń Cathedral bears the names of two important figures in the Catholic religion – Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. It’s the Gothic style. Already in the Middle Ages, this church played a vitally important role in the religious life of the city, for it was a parish church at the time.
The 16th century brings a short rule of the Lutherans over the church. For some time, there were Catholic masses and Protestant services held under one roof.

The cathedral is majestic and proud. Decorated with beautiful paintings from the 14th century inside, depicting St. Johns, the patrons of the church. Look also at the large, multi-plot painting called the Final Judgement. The altar bearing the name of St. Wolfgang, a part of the stained-glass windows and the soaring vaulted cellars also come from the Middle Ages. The chapel with a baptismal font is something you can’t miss in this place, for it’s here where our famous astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, was christened in 1473.

Of course, there is also the well-known bell Tuba Dei – the God’s Horn – weighting more than 7 tons. It was cast and hung in the belfry in 1500. The legend has it, it was supposed to play God for mercy and protect people from the Apocalypse. Sadly, the bell is rather silent nowadays, ringing only from time to time. Why? The deep vibrations emitted by its heart are dangerous for the construction of the belfry and the whole cathedral.
