About Siedlce
What are the main landmarks in Siedlce?
Siedlce carries some of Gdańsk's old defensive works. The Nowe Ogrody fortifications and the redoubt on Biskupia Górka mark the heights, with the rampart-master's house among the surviving military buildings. Down the slope, the Saint Francis of Assisi church and the churches of Saint Maximilian Kolbe and Saint Ursula Ledóchowska serve the parishes along Kartuska Street.
Brick and earthwork define the skyline.
What is the history of Siedlce?
Siedlce grew up on the high ground above the approaches to Gdańsk. Its hills carried defensive lines, and the Nowe Ogrody fortifications and the redoubt on Biskupia Górka survive from that fortified past. Later the slopes filled with tenements and parish churches as the district joined the wider city.
The earthworks stayed. Kartuska Street tied it to the wider town.
Where is Siedlce?
