Attractions and Places To See around gmina Cedry Wielkie - Top 20

The street begins at St. Mary's Church and leads eastward to the Motlawa River, the medieval Mariacka Gate, and the adjacent House of the Natural History Society. Away from the through traffic of Long Street, the alleys around St. Mary's Church, and especially in Mariacka Street, often offered a quiet atmosphere reminiscent of the "tranquility of old Gdańsk days." With its narrow, richly decorated town houses and the "beischläge" (raised terraces located in front of the actual front door, often reached via ornate staircases), it is an example of Gdańsk's former street architecture. In 1945, Mariacka Street was completely destroyed and rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s. One architectural critic has stated that today's Mariacka Street "contains the design quintessence of the entire city." Mariacka Street has served as the backdrop for several film productions. For example, in Buddenbrocks, where she portrayed "the beautiful world of Lübeck's patricians." "Yet, one has never seen additions of such grandeur and decorative opulence on the Trave." Several well-known personalities lived or worked in Frauengasse at various times: Frauengasse No. 2 During the Weimar Republic, the Protestant pastor and writer Artur Brausewetter (1864–1946) lived here. He was a deacon from 1893 and archdeacon from 1908 at St. Mary's Church in Gdansk, and wrote around 50 novels. House No. 2 in Frauengasse, a 17th-century building, served as the rectory of St. Mary's Church and, from the church's perspective, was the second house on the right side of the street. Frauengasse No. 3 From around 1934, the Karl Formell printing and publishing house was located here, run by Karl Formell, a trade union official and senator in Gdansk (Central City). The publishing house primarily published Catholic publications. Frauengasse No. 11 Between 1807 and 1814, this was the residence of Dagobert von Vegesack, a Prussian major who also served as resident and police chief in Danzig. Frauengasse No. 52 From 1909, the Protestant pastor Hermann Daniel lived here. Daniel, who was a deacon at St. Mary's Church in Danzig at the same time as Archdeacon Artur Brausewetter, who lived at Frauengasse No. 2. Source: Wikipedia

There used to be a metal structure on buoys instead of this bridge. Just thinking about it makes this bridge look like it's falling over the rock. It's nice that the bike path is on the opposite side of the road from the sidewalk.

Gdańsk has many attractions to offer visitors. One of such places is Bursztynowa Street.

The Green Gate divides the beautiful old town with the part of the city on the waterfront of the Motlawa.

One of the most famous streets/alleys in Gdansk.

This alley is very fascinating. The beautiful houses with the cellar shops that offer everything possible made of amber.

The city gate was built between 1564 and 1568 in the opulent Flemish Mannerist style and is the successor to the 14th-century Coggentor (Cogg Gate). The plans were drawn up by Hans Kramer, and construction was overseen by the renowned architect Regnier of Amsterdam. Four equally high and wide passageways were incorporated into the front of the building. The structure contains several rooms, and its layout gives it the appearance of a castle. It was named the "Green Gate" because its facade was painted green. Originally intended as a city residence for Polish kings, only Luisa Maria Gonzaga stayed at the Green Gate before her marriage to King Władysław IV Vasa. After being destroyed in World War II, the gate was rebuilt. In 2002, it suffered a partial collapse, which was quickly repaired. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%BCnes_Tor_(Danzig)
