Westerplatte Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The Westerplatte was formed by sand deposits at the former Vistula estuary. The main stream of the Vistula, which previously flowed into the Baltic Sea near Danzig, broke on February 1, 1840 about 20 kilometers east of Danzig near the village of Neufuhr through the dune belt that separated the low-lying Werder (formerly part of the Vistula Lagoon) from the Baltic Sea . As a result, the lower reaches of the former Vistula became de-energized, resulting in the "Dead Vistula". This was expanded to become a port canal as a result of regulatory work. Westerplatte, which has thus become a peninsula, lies on its right bank. It is surrounded by the port canal to the south and the Baltic Sea to the west and north, and is about 60 meters wide to the east where it connects to land. Its length is about two kilometers, the greatest width is about 600 meters. The harbor canal connects the port of Gdańsk and the then three Gdańsk shipyards to the Baltic Sea. From 1924 to 1939 there was a fortified Polish ammunition depot within the borders of the Free City of Danzig.

"The Golden Gate (Polish: Złota Brama; German: Langgasser Tor) in Gdańsk (former German name: Danzig), Poland, is one of the most notable tourist attractions of the city.

It was created in 1612–14 in place of a 13th-century gothic gate, the Brama Długouliczna (Long Street Gate). It is located at one end of Long Lane (ulica Długa; German: Langgasse), where, together with Brama Wyżynna (German: Hohes Tor = High Gate) and Wieża Więzienna (German: Stockturm = Prison Tower), it forms a part of the old city fortifications."

Brama Wyżynna (High Gate)

Highlight • Monument

The High Gate is the starting point for exploring Gdansk's magnificent mile. The Renaissance building was built in its current representative form in 1588 by the Flemish architect Wilhelm van den Block.
The High Gate served as the city's main gate. It is decorated with allegorical figures from 1648, created by Peter Ringering and bearing the inscription "Peace, Freedom, Unity". Above the arches, the coats of arms of Gdansk, Poland and Prussia decorate the gate.
The Royal Route began with the High Gate, which leads directly to the Golden Gate (Złota Brama), which was built by Abraham van den Block in 1612 - 1614. "May those who love you prosper. May there be peace within your walls and happiness in your palaces" is the inscription.

The canal supplied Gdańsk with drinking water from the 14th century onwards and powered the large mill until 1945.

T-34 Tank Monument, Gdańsk

Highlight • Monument

In the direction of Gdynia, you can go straight through Gdansk Wrzeszcz then you bypass the section leading along the beach which is equally interesting because we can visit other districts, e.g. Oliwa with a park and the cathedral

Willa Patschkego

Highlight • Historical Site

Patschke's Villa in Gdańsk, also known as Uphagena's Villa – one of the most characteristic residences in Gdańsk, at 23 Uphagena Street in Wrzeszcz, corner of Grunwaldzka Avenue, built by a Jewish merchant, commercial councillor and owner of the Springer liqueur factory (Gustav Springer Nachf. Likör Fabrik), Rudolf Patschke (1854–1932).

The residence was built in 1908–1909 at the then Uphagenweg 1 by the G. und J. Müller company from Elbląg. The interiors were decorated with majolica from Kadyny near Elbląg.

After World War II, the villa housed, among others, British Consulate (-1948), District Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz (1948-1956), management and editorial offices of the Polish Radio Gdańsk (1956-2000), Gdańsk Business Club (2000-)
