Situated on Gdańsk’s most picturesque street, Kamienica Gotyk is the oldest house in the city (1451) with an original Gothic portal featuring two religious stones either side of the entrance steps; if you want history, you’re in the right place. Ring the buzzer for entry and find yourself ushered up the steep stairs into tidy rooms that include modern bathrooms and sketches of Medieval Gdańsk. Church bells from the neighbouring St. Mary’s Basilica going dong in the background add to the experience while the basement holds a small shop selling artistic glassware. Kamienica Gotyk is also where the Anne Van Der Schilling, the lover of Nicholas Copernicus, is alleged to have lived. Whether this was her residence and whether Copernicus ever met her there is up for debate, however, archaeological evidence has proved that Anne definately stayed at this residence!
