Attractions

The main attraction for the visitors is the city of Chelmno itself – it is full of Gothic monuments and has a beautiful Renaissance town hall. The city is inscribed on the list of Historic Monuments of Poland. Yet, the most precious historical value of Chelmno is preserved in a chessboard layout of the city with the largest market square in northern Poland. In addition, Chelmno can also be proud of a complex of Gothic churches, almost fully preserved ramparts of the city gates, as well as numerous historic buildings.
Chelmno is also called the city of lovers. It is because of the relics of the patron saint of lovers, Saint Valentine, which are kept in the parish church of Chelmno. Saint Valentine's Day, the 14 February, is celebrated here with great solemnity. The city is beautifully decorated a couple of days before Saint Valentine's Day and that special day itself offers many events, concerts and attractions.
On the bench love everyone can send greetings by the camera installed:
