Tips from the Community
Chełmno A bit poor, quiet and in places neglected, but it has something about it that makes you want to return. I'm here every year or two and with each visit I like it more and more. It is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Poland. To this day, its 13th-century urban layout has survived almost intact, and over two kilometers of defensive walls are among the best preserved in the country. A walk along them and through the narrow streets gives a much better idea of a medieval town than many history lessons. The center had a huge impact on the development of urban planning and self-governance in this part of Europe. It was from here that the order began to organize the administration of the conquered lands, and the town became a model for subsequent settlements. In 1233, the Teutonic Knights granted it the so-called Chełmno Law – a medieval "city user manual" that defined the principles of self-governance, trade, and justice. The solution proved so practical that over 200 towns and about 1500 villages in the territory of present-day Poland were later founded according to Chełmno Law. Chełmno is called the City of Lovers. All thanks to the relics of St. Valentine kept in the parish church. It's worth sitting down for a coffee in the market square and just watching. There are no crowds here like in Toruń or Gdańsk, but there is peace and the atmosphere of a small town that doesn't need to prove anything. If I had to point out the most charming small town in Kuyavia and the Chełmno Land, Chełmno would be very high on this list.

Very nice camping site close to the beach. The reception is at the building close to the sea, while the pitches lies at a secured area some meters before. Clean toilets and nice pitches in trees.

A very interesting monument close to the city centre, unfortunately it has fallen into ruin. Fortunately, there is a revitalisation plan. From the website kujawsko-pomorskie.pl: Revitalisation of the historic Grudziądz Upper Mill and the establishment of the Energy Mill is a joint initiative of the provincial government and the city government of Grudziądz. The former grain mill, after a major adaptive renovation carried out under the supervision of a conservator, will be transformed into a public space with culture, education and artistic events in mind. The mission of the centre established will be to present and popularise the history and cultural achievements of the city and region, as well as to popularise knowledge of mathematics, nature, technology and the humanities.
