Experience It! Torun Torun was founded in 1244 by the Teutonic Knights and today is a UNESCO World

Heritage site with many architectural structures dating from the early Middle Ages. The

city is famous for having preserved almost perfectly its medieval layout. Numerous brick

buildings built in the Gothic style still exist, including churches, the Town Hall and

burgher houses which surround the old town. Torun, unlike many other historic cities in

Poland, escaped destruction during World War II. Particularly left intact was Old Town,

whose important architectural monuments are originals, not reconstructions. Torun is the

birthplace of Copernicus and the home where he was born is still intact today.
