The Nowy Rynek is square (95x95 m), and was the commercial centre of New Town of Torun till August 12, 1264.

It received city rights, or their own counsel, the bench (the court), offices, stamp, crest, and up to 8 Mar 1454, it remained a separate body from the Old the city of Torun.

On the square is a building erected like a small Greek house with columns.

In this building a public toilet is made downstairs.

Toruń Szeroka Corner II


Nowadays it is still a store house, but more a shopping wall with several different shops.
It's called Dom Towarowy and on the first floor, where you could see clothes on the picture below, now coffee and snacks are sold.
If you compare the pictures you see that some buildings have got an extra floor.
