Church of St. Jacob Cathedral

Reviewed By podrozniczka60 - New Jersey, United States

This church originally was built in the second half of 14th century and it has castle-like appearance. It is a good example of Warmia Gothic architecture . It is located just a short walk from the old square.The beautiful interior includes Gothic, late-Renaissance, and Baroque art elements. The bronze 2000 door is the new addition and complements the much older character of the church. This beautiful house of worship features often organ concerts but the easiest way to hear it is during the mass. Masses take place here daily several times a day.

Old Town Elblag

Reviewed By Dutkowska - Gdansk, Poland

Elbląg's Old Town isn't such 'old' and unfortunately we see this during walking. There are only a few historic objects built before World War II, really destructive time for this city. What we have now, is an attempt to restore former beauty. In my opinion, done well. Of course, we can have a problem with deficiency of historic soul, but it is not such a big problem. Plenty of restaurants and pubs to visit.

The task of water supply, water supply was the Cathedral Hill, the Bishop's Palace and the canons' houses. Venerable Frombork Chapter paid for this work: two hundred thalers, twelve bushels of corn and compensation for clothing. Murator Stanislaw received 100 marks, 6 barrels of drink table and 15 bushels of wheat. Construction took a year and was the second water supply system of this type in Europe. First established in 1548 in Augsburg. Frombork water supply is a unique monument of medieval European scale hydro-engineering. Water flowing channel of moving large water wheel, and his energy propelled the chain of scoops przypiętymi to him. Chain wandered around the two shafts. The bottom was an extension of the water wheel axle and the top was at the top of the tower. Buckets filled with water at the lowest point, then traveled to the mountains, at the time of trading on the upper shaft, the water poured out of them into the container placed on top of the tower, where the trunks of hollow tubes running down to the stronghold of oak and canons' houses.

This bricked water tower from 16th century is basically the first important sight in Frombork, when you enter the town. No one visits Frombork for water tower, but it became first point on our tour, and what a point it was. We didn't expect that, to be so good. It started with a car parking spaces, which is a bit of a struggle in Frombork, with lots of them around dissused railway station, but we thought it is too far, for a small town such Frombork. So the place around the tower became a good choice for us. And as soon as we parked up for the day, we discovered book shop at the bottom of the tower. Appart from large selection of books (we bought one from the series about Pan Samochodzik - Mr Vehicle..., who solved criminal riddles related to works of art, and one book of the series was about Frombork), they sell tickets for the tower, and for few quid one can challenge themselfs on endless staircases... They even gave us good quality binoculars to enjoy the panorama. And when we got down eventually, we stayed for a breather at the coffee place they also run. And the view from the tower is beautiful, with huge cathedral complex on one side, and the Vistula Bay on the other. Great and unexpected start to our Frombork experience.

Gizycko Water Tower

The Water Tower is closed until April. It was built in 1900 entirely of red unplastered bricks in the neo-gothic style with interesting external vaulting around its crown and two coats of arms over the entrance: one Mazurian and one municipal to emphasise its being part of the region. The water reservoir in the tower distributed water to all the dwellings for 97 years. Nowadays, following the great reconstruction of the interior and adding a dome and three additional floors and extending the viewing platform with telescopes, the tower has become Giżycko’s most unique tourist attraction. To reach the top, one has to climb 129 steps (or use the lift). The highest floor of the tower is 162 m above sea level and it houses a café. From this height, one can truly appreciate the panorama of the town and the surrounding areas with lakes and forests – a typical Mazurian landscape. The inside the tower houses the local museum with exhibits that illustrate the past life of the local people.
