Experts' Choice Award The Great Mill
What the experts agree on
Gdansk's iconic Great Mill, built by the Teutonic Knights in 1350, dominated grain production for nearly 600 years with 18 water wheels grinding almost 200 tons daily until its 1945 destruction. A striking landmark opposite St Catherine's Church.
“Standing conspicuously opposite St Catherine’s Church, the Great Mill certainly lives up to its name.”
