Crane on Motł awa (Crane over Motł awa) is considered to be the oldest harbor crane in all of Europe and a symbol of Gdań sk's maritime history. This 14th-century building, towering majestically above the embankment of the Motł awa River, was one of the most advanced structures of its time in Europe. It impresses rather not with its beauty, but with its unusual architecture that stands out from all the surrounding buildings. It acquired its current form in the Middle Ages (in 1442-1444).→
