格但斯克起重机(波蘭語:Brama Żuraw w Gdańsku)位於波蘭格但斯克,是歐洲現存最大最古老的港口起重機,現為格但斯克的代表性地標之一。這座起重機最初為木造,建於1367年,1442年因火災焚毀;1442~1444年起重機重建,改為磚造搭配木造的結構。內部有人力驅動的大木輪,最大可承載兩噸的重物,兼具碼頭的起重機和城門的作用。
To buy a ticket to the Crane, you have to go to neighbourly building of Maritime Culture Centre. Generally it's a good place if you want to get some knowledge about historical maritime culture.
The Crane - a defensive town gate and a harbor crane in one. You can go inside the wheels which once propelled the crane's mechanism. Sadly, for safety reasons, it cannot be set in motion any more...
A symbol of the maritime history of Gdansk, the oldest port crane in Europe was built in the years 1442-1444 in the form of two brick towers. Free entrance with the Tourist Card.
Nice to see if visiting Gdansk. Interesting to see workings of the crane/structure from inside. Some historical information/exhibits but we didn’t find v.interesting-not translated into English.
