Cultural Treasure of Gdansk

Standing behind the Neptune Fountain, Artus Court is one of Gdansk's most recognized buildings. Once a vibrant hub for merchants, it has played a pivotal role in local culture.

Founded in the mid-14th century, Artus Court served as a communal hall for wealthy merchants. The building suffered extensive damage during WWII but was restored using historical documents and photographs. Its remarkable facade, designed by Abraham van den Block in the 1610s, stands out in the city's landscape. Inside, visitors can find a grand hall with a Gothic vaulted ceiling and murals depicting local history, as well as a significant painting of the Battle of Grunwald.
