Baszta Łabędź

The Gothic Swan Bastion in Gdańsk stands at the Fish Market and forms the northeastern corner of the fortifications of the Main Town. It was built on the foundations of the earlier Fishermen's Bastion and, after being damaged in 1454, was rebuilt and raised by one story. Today the historic structure houses the headquarters of the Polish Maritime Club. You can visit the bastion right next to the modern Hilton hotel and get a sense of the medieval city fortifications, which now serve as a cultural venue.
