Great Mill in Gdańsk

The Great Mill

Located in the Old Town of Gdańsk, this 14th-century structure was originally served as a large-scale flour mill. Today, the building functions as a museum dedicated to amber, where visitors can view the historic industrial architecture and a collection of amber craftwork and geological specimens.

Getting There

The mill is situated within the pedestrian-friendly Old Town area. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your starting point.

Visit Duration

Allow roughly 1 to 2 hours to explore the interior exhibits and the architectural layout of the building.

When to Visit

The site can get crowded during the peak summer tourist season and on weekends. Visiting during weekday mornings typically offers a quieter experience. The museum is indoors, making it a viable option regardless of the season.

  • Small Mill: 0.1km
  • Saint Bridget Church: 0.2km
  • John III Sobieski Monument: 0.2km
  • Saint Nicholas Church: 0.2km
