Granaries of Grudziądz
Medieval fortified granaries in Grudziądz as seen from across the Vistula River. Founded by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century, Grudziądz (German: Graudenz) became part of Poland by the terms of the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466. The town was once an important inland port for Poland's grain exports via the Vistula and the Baltic Sea.
