General presentation
Chełmno
A small medieval town on the Vistula, with ramparts, Gothic churches, regular square and a very preserved atmosphere.
To understand what Chełmno is, you have to look at Remparts de Chełmno, Rynek and Gothic churches. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 2 days, it is better to balance the visits and the travel times. Also to be expected: short stay and quiet destination. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Chełmno replacements
The walls of Chełmno still largely surround the medieval town, with doors, towers and long brick sections. They give a rare walk in northern Poland, where one follows the ancient contour of the city while seeing the Vistula valley.
Town or village
Rynek
The Rynek de Chełmno is a large regular square, dominated by a white Renaissance city hall and surrounded by low houses. The ensemble maintains a very pleasant medieval clarity, reinforced by the Gothic churches and the nearby ramparts.
Town or village
Gothic churches
The Gothic churches of Chełmno punctuate the city with high volumes of brick, sober naves and towers visible from the streets. Their concentration gives this small centre a surprising heritage density, especially when connected to the ramparts and the Rynek.
