As you might guess from the name, this island by the Old Town was Bydgoszcz’s hive of industry from Medieval times. The few mill buildings standing here now are from the 1800s, and they’ve been spruced up and turned into attractions. Beside them are wide open green spaces bordering the peaceful loop in the Brda, which has clear water and waterfowl ...
Often ranked among the top minor museums in the country, the Museum of Soap and Dirt opened in a tenement house on the north side of Ulica Długa in 2012. Inside there’s a timeline of hygiene, with artefacts like cast-iron bathtubs from the 19th century, utensils for washing and bathing, vintage detergents ads, washing machines, dryers, soaps from a...
This plaza is exactly where King Casimir III the Great founded Bydgoszcz in 1346 and is still a pillar of social life in the city, hosting concerts and public gatherings and fringed by outdoor seating for bars and restaurants. An unsettling event took place here at the start of the Second World War, when Bydgoszcz ‘s German residents and Poles were...
Along the west side of the square, the Town Hall is a Baroque wonder built from 1644 to 1653. And what’s unusual about it is that this was never intended as a town hall, as for its first 130 years it was a Jesuit College. Not only was the college the largest building in Bydgoszcz, it was also its first place of higher learning, turning the city int...
For nearly forty years after its unveiling in 1904, this fountain depicting the Genesis flood narrative in the bible was one of the prides of the city. But in 1943 its bronze sculptures were confiscated and melted down for the German war effort, and it wouldn’t be until 2004 that Bydgoszcz could think about a restoration. That process took ten year...
If you need an image than encapsulates Bydgoszcz, it’s the row of late-18th-century half-timbered granaries on the Brda River. And although that might not seem like much, they’ll tell you a lot about Bydgoszcz position in the world. The city was at the crossroads of two trade routes from Greater Poland in the south to Pomerania in the north, and fr...
The city owes a lot of its growth in the 19th century to this canal linking the Vistula and Oder Rivers via their tributaries, the Brda, Warta and Notec. In that time Bydgoszcz became a nexus point for inland shipping between Eastern and Central Europe. The Old Canal was dug in the mid-1770s and runs right through the middle of Bydgoszcz. This wate...
In a park in the Szwederowo district is a bold Neo-Gothic water tower completed in 1900 as part of the Municipal Waterworks complex. It is now a monument on a trail through Bydgoszcz, which has educational attractions about the city’s turn-of-the-century water supply network. The tower’s museum opened in 2012 and examines the water cycle, as well a...
By the Town Hall and Old Market Square, the cathedral goes back to 1346, the year that Bydgoszcz became a city. The first building burned down in the middle of the 15th century and this Brick Gothic edifice went up in its place in 1502. At the entrance are Renaissance doors carved in the 17th century and bearing the city’s coats of arms and the ini...
On the edge of the city in the Bydgoszcz Industrial Park is a complex with a sinister past.

The workforce was made up of 40,000 forced labourers who were kept in unimaginable conditions. The facilities,...
