Photo Gallery » Frombork
We went to Frombork for the weekend in August. The weather was good, although it was a bit windy and the clouds sometimes obscured the sky. Nevertheless, I was able to take some photos with the drone. The city made a great impression on us - the monumental cathedral, charming streets, and picturesque views of the Vistula Lagoon. Frombork is a place full of history, closely connected to Nicolaus Copernicus, who lived here for many years. In this gallery, you will find photos showcasing the beauty of this unique town from both a drone's perspective and a regular camera.

Nicolaus Copernicus in Frombork
When entering Frombork, it is impossible to miss the statue of Nicolaus Copernicus. Nicolaus Copernicus in 1510 became a canon in Frombork. It was in Frombork that he conducted astronomical observations and began to write his great work "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres".

The organs of the Frombork cathedral
To visit the cathedral, it is worth buying a ticket with a presentation of the organs. You can learn a lot about an instrument, listen to it playing and see an organist at the counter - it is impressive.

Canonry house of St. Stanisław Kostka (House of Copernicus) at 2 Krasickiego Street. Mikołaj Kopernik lived and worked in Frombork for 33 years. Probably in this place he lived and conducted research. In the 20th century, archaeological research was carried out in the vicinity of this house. Unfortunately, the platform (the so-called pavimentum), on which the Copernicus observatory was located, was not found.

How many years did Copernicus live in Frombork?
Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Toruń in 1473, but he spent most of his professional life in Frombork. He moved there in 1510 and lived for nearly 30 years. During this time, he conducted astronomical research and wrote his most famous work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium." Although he occasionally traveled, including to Olsztyn, Frombork remained the place where he served as a canon and administrator of the chapter's estates. After his death in 1543, he was buried in the cathedral in Frombork.

A very interesting art installation in the Old Market Square. The fountain in the center symbolizes the sun. The circles are the orbits of the planets in the solar system. In each orbit there is a planet or a bench. There is Nicolaus Copernicus on the "earth bench". Interesting idea and great execution!

During the weekend we spent in Frombork, I made several drone flights both in the evening and early in the morning. The views from the top are stunning. Due to the fact that part of Frombork is included in the border zone, each time you want to fly in the vicinity of the cathedral, you should report such a flight to the border guard and obtain a permit to fly.

There is an unusual monument - the water tower at the foot of the Cathedral Hill. The tower was built in 1572 over the canal supplying the city with fresh water from the Bauda River. There was a mechanism in the tower that used the water current to pump it up to a height of 25 meters in order to deliver it through a wooden pipeline to the Cathedral Hill. There is an observation deck at the top of the building that you can enter to admire the panorama of the city.
