The Kraków Gate is a remnant of the 14th-century city walls. In 1842, after the old, gothic town hall was dismantled, a new one was erected connected with the gate, which from then on served as the town hall tower. The clock in the town hall comes from the church of St. Michael.
The Krakow Gate is the only city gate in Wieluń that has survived to this day. It was built in the fourteenth century at the exit of the road to Krakow and towards the nearby village of Ruda, hence the second name - Rudzka Gate. Placed on a square plan, it was built up with two octagonal floors, the higher one being narrower. As a result of the fighting under the Swedish invasion and the Northern War, the gate gradually fell into ruin. A salvation for the gate was the demolition of the former town hall and its addition to the Krakow Gate using it as a town hall tower. The construction of the town hall according to the design of Henryk Marconi and Piotr Wetzlich was completed in 1842. In September 1939, the town hall was one of the targets of the German aviation attack, but luckily the dropped bomb only pierced the roof by hooking on the element of the truss, without doing much damage. During the occupation, apart from the city authorities, a Nazi gendarmerie post had its headquarters here, and a detention center was located on the upper floors of the tower. In 1940, a clock from the demolished parish church was placed on the tower.
Place of sale:
Wieluń Dom Kultury, ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 5, Wieluń (open from Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM)
It smelled like the old days.
Very nice Wieluń town hall and Krakowska Gate, which should be visited during a visit to Wieluń. They are one of the most important monuments of the city of Wieluń. I recommend visiting!
