Old Town Hall of Toruń. Constructed in 1391-1399, this four-wing, single-storey Gothic building was made higher and remodeled in the Dutch Renaissance style in the years 1602-1605 to designs by the Flemish architect Anton van Obbergen. It was burnt down during the Swedish siege of 1703. It housed the cloth hall, bred stalls, the town council chambers, the law court, scales, and the formal Burghers’ and Royal Chambers. It was the venue for meetings of the Polish Sejm (1520, 1576, 1626) and the Colloquium Charitativum (1645) and it was here that King Jan Olbracht died (1501).

Great Mikolaj, I like the strong colors of textures here against blue skies. A high quality image and nicely captured in terms of POV.

Another brilliant photo added in your gallery. Well done.

dear Mikolaj Cava,
three star-shape high windows are very interesting.
designer's basic idea looks "into the upper sky", but stars mean something scientific in Renaissance, in my feeling.
repaired building looks new, not old, but the air of old times is floating in this figure.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hello Mikolaj,
The perfect combination of focus, positioning, and depth, and the combination of colors could not be better with the rich, deep blue and the assorted earth tones of the City Hall. A beauty, one of your best images to date...
Steve

Hi Mikolaj,

beautifully captured detail.
Most powerful composition, solid, of excellent graphism created by strong colour contrast of red and blue.
This is also enhanced by pointing thin towers of perfect sharpness.
Great work!
