Frombork is a
beautiful, small town in northern Poland, on the Vistula
Lagoon. It is a former residence of the astronomer Nicolas
Copernicus, who lived and worked here as a canon. Here the
great astronomer spent the most creative part of his life and
wrote his epochal work, De revolutionibus orbium cœlestium.
Short after the publication, in 1543 Copernicus died and was
buried in Cathedral Tower. But Frombork is a popular tourist
destination not only as a city of Copernicus, but also due to
mysterious unique architecture of Cathedral Hill and over 700
-year-old monuments such as fisherman tower, parish church and
the unique Water Tower. |

Water Tower was
built on foundations of one of the pillars of Milestone Gate.
Inside the tower was a Walenty Hendel’s mechanism to draw the
water. The Tower was supplying Cathedral Hill, Bishop Palace
and canons’ houses in water. The Water Tower in Frombork is an
example of medieval hydro-engineering. Today from the summit
of the Tower you can see the Vistula Spit, Lagoon and
Kaliningrad Oblast. And downstairs we can drink a cup of
coffee and eat a delicious cake in a cozy café. |
