The market square of Lublin with the former town hall and later crown court in the middle

The Market Square ( Rynek in Polish ) is the central square in the historic city center of the Polish city ​​of Lublin . It can be reached by the streets: Ulica Złota (northeast), Ulica Prezydenta Teodora Gruella (southeast), Ulica Bramowa (southwest) and Ulica Grodzka (northwest).

Buildings

In the middle of the square is a magnificent building built in 1389 and rebuilt in 1781 in neoclassical style, which initially served as the town hall and later as the crown court. Around the market will find a variety of homes from the Renaissance , as cultural monuments under preservation are. The DuMont travel guide counts the former home ( Rynek 2 ) of the Polish writer and poet Sebastian Fabian Klonowic and the Konopniców house (Rynek 12), which is decorated with a Renaissance frieze, among the “most beautiful houses on the square”. The house of the Lubomelski family ( Rynek 8 ) in the style of the Polish Renaissance was also highlighted by ViaMichelin .

Other monuments are the birth houses of the theater actor Aleksander Zelwerowicz ( Rynek 3 ) and the composers Henryk Wieniawski and Józef Wieniawski ( Rynek 17 ) as well as the houses Rynek 4 , Rynek 5 , Rynek 6 , Rynek 7 , Rynek 9 , Rynek 10 , Rynek 14 , Rynek 17 and Rynek 18 .

Others

Overall, the reconstruction after the Second World War "resulted in 'more' of Renaissance splendor than Lublin had before the war".

The former town hall is also the meeting point for the “underground route”, a tour of around 45 minutes that takes place more than 200 meters below the old town.
