Leaning Tower in Torun: photos, reviews

About

Krzywa Wieża in Torun is a must-see attraction, boasting an impressive average Google rating of 4.6. This medieval defensive tower, part of Torun's defense system since the 13th century, has an intriguing tilt due to its construction on loamy ground. Legend, however, attributes the leaning to the punishment of a Teutonic Knight's sinful love affair.

Over the centuries, Krzywa Wieża has served various roles: an 18th-century women's prison, a 19th-century gunsmith apartment, a blacksmith shop, and a 20th-century café and souvenir shop. Today, it houses the Cultural Department of Torun and a charming café. Visitors often describe a peculiar, dizzy sensation when inside.

This attraction is suitable for children and is conveniently located near other points of interest such as the Nicolaus Copernicus house, the Museum of Toys and Tales, and Dolina Marzen Park. For the best view, head to the river and look toward the main entry gate on the left. With its rich history, compelling legends, and central location, Krzywa Wieża remains a key landmark for any tourist in Torun.

Dort wird geprüft,ob du ehrlich bist. Du stellst dich mit dem Rücken an die Wand, die Fußhacke muss dicht an die Wand geschoben werden und wenn du dein Gleichgewicht halten kannst, bist du ein ehrlicher Mensch 🙏 PS. Ich habe es geschafft stehen zu bleiben 👍👍 Gut ich Schuhgröße 45 und ich hoffe es lag nicht daran 🤔😂
