The origins of the Romanesque Cellar
The Romanesque Cellar is a surviving part of the 13th-century Dominican monastery. 800 years ago, this room served as the friars’ refectory: a kitchen and dining room.
The cellars were discovered in 2005/2006 during excavations in Dominican Square by the Archaeological Museum in Gdańsk.
The site opened to visitors on 30 December 2014.
