Danzig / Gdansk City Guide

Danzig / Gdansk City Guide

Christofer Herrmann

Gdansk was once the largest and richest city in northern Europe. The impressive monuments from the late Middle Ages and modern times still tell of this glamorous epoch: the Marienkirche and the other large parish churches, the town hall, the Artushof, the mighty city fortifications or the old port on the banks of the Motlawa with the famous crane gate. The richly illustrated guide gives a compact overview of the history of the city and the most important monuments of old Danzig, including the Cistercian monastery in nearby Oliva.
