9. Landmarks.
Wyspa Młyńska (Mill Island) is among the most spectacular and
atmospheric places in Bydgoszcz. What makes it unique is the
location in the very heart of the city centre, just a few steps
from the old Market Square.
Most of the buildings which can still be seen on the island date from
the 19th century, but the so-called Biały Spichlerz (the White
Granary) recalls the end of the 18th century.
Saint Vincent de Paul’s Basilica, erected between 1925 and 1939,
is the largest church in Bydgoszcz and one of the biggest in
Poland. It can accommodate around 12,000 people. This
monumental church was modelled after the Pantheon in Rome. The
most characteristic element of the neo-classical temple is the
reinforced concrete dome 40 metres in diameter.
