The Teutonic Knights' 13th-century founding of Torun, along the Vistula in the Chelmno region of Poland, represented a symbolic (if neither friendly or peaceful) encounter between two worlds: Christendom and a by-then fast-fading world of pagan belief.

Enjoy the full color photos by one of Poland's finest photographers, Christian Parma, and learn about the town and its people as written by author Boguslaw Dybas. We hope you enjoy the tours and texts which are written in three languages, Polish, English and German.
