That process took ten year...

And although that might not seem like much, they’ll tell you a lot about Bydgoszcz position in the world.

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.
