WłocławekThe town on the Vistula River

The location of Włocławek Włocławek is located on the border of two geographical and historical regions – Kujawy and the Dobrzyn region. Włocławek lies on the Vistula River, the queen of Polish rivers. That is why, there are a lot of tourist attractions near my town. For example, there are not only the forests and many lakes but also some lovely little towns with beautiful landscapes: Wieniec Zdrój, Ciechocinek.

The town’s history

Włocławek is one of the oldest towns in Poland. It was very important centre of trade in the past and the place of the seat of the bishop of Kujawy. During the First and the Second World War my town was destroyed by the Germans. However, Włocławek was rebuilt and now we can admire a lot of beautiful places and old monuments.

The most famous monumentsThe Cathedral in Włocławek built

between 1340 and 1411The small gothic Church of St Vitalis erected

in 1330

Watchtower of the fire station from 1909

Franciscan monastery complex built in 1639-1644

the shopping centre

In the centre of my town there is the Liberty square with a monument devoted to the soldiers who died in the war. This is a place where inhabitants of Włocławek rest during the sunny days.

This is a cinema centre with six cinema halls. Many people like spending their free time here especially at the weekends.

This is the design for the new simming pool. I belive that it will be one of the most attractive places in my town.
