Copernicus House in Toruń

It is considered by many historians to be the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, and it houses a museum dedicated to the astronomer.

[1] At the end of the 14th century, the cloth merchant Herbord Platte became the owner of the house.

In 1459, Lucas I Watzenrode, Nicolaus Copernicus' grandfather, took over the house from his nephew, Szymon Falbrecht, and soon gave it to his daughter Barbara Watzenrode and her spouse, Nicolaus Copernicus senior.

Many historians point to this building as the place where Nicolaus Copernicus was born in 1473.

During the works, its former spatial layout was restored, reconstructing, among others, a tall vestibule with a kitchen corner, a staircase and a wooden suspended room (ground floor).
