    Koneser Vodka Factory

    In the up-and-coming Praga neighbourhood is the disused redbrick Koneser Vodka Factory, dating from the early 20th century. It houses two progressive galleries, Luksfera and Klimy Bocheńskiej , the first of which specialises in photography and the second contemporary art from a wide range of media. Note that Praga is not safe to wander at night; it's best to travel from A to B by taxi.

    Great Mill

    The peculiar seven-storey building opposite St Catherine's Church is the Great Mill. Built in around 1350 by the Teutonic Knights, it was the largest mill in medieval Europe at over 40m long and 26m high, and equipped with a set of 18 millstones, each 5m in diameter. The mill operated until 1945 and just before WWII produced 200 tonnes of flour per day. It now houses a modern shopping mall.
