in Torun, it is worth taking a walk through the oldest part of the city - the Old Town Complex, which thanks to its historic townhouses and Teutonic Castle was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.
It is here in Torun that you will also find the former family home of Nicolaus Copernicus, located on the street named in his honor. It is a historic house built in the Gothic style, which was inhabited by the Copernicus family in the second half of the 15th century. Currently, in this and a neighboring tenement house there is a branch of the Toruń Regional Museum, known as the Nicolaus Copernicus House. The museum branch includes the interior where we can admire the reconstructed medieval room layout and decor, as well as the cellars located in both tenements where an exhibition entitled "The World of Toruń Gingerbread" is permanently held. Here you can see, among other things, forms for kneading gingerbread dough from the Baroque era and discover the original composition of gingerbread and even try your hand at baking. Another attraction of the museum is a model of old Toruń, with an impressive multimedia presentation showing the astronomer's biography and the history of his hometown. There is also a collection of editions of the work "De Revolutionibus", the astronomer's family heirlooms, as well as various items documenting the comprehensive activities of the great humanist dating back to the first half of the fifteenth century.
In the City of the eminent astronomer could not, of course, lack a contemporary monument to his work. Thus, as a result of cooperation between the Friends of the Planetarium Foundation and the Nicolaus Copernicus Museum, this facility was created. A day spent in the planetarium is spent admiring 40-minute astronomical projections showing the constellations and the moon in each of its phases. The moving image projected over the heads of viewers, complemented by narration and music, provides an unforgettable experience.
These and many other attractions and monuments telling their unique story attract hundreds of tourists from all over Poland to Torun every year.Torun
