ICHOT Poznań Gate

At the end of Posadzego Street, where the Genius Loci Archaeological Reserve is located, you will find an intriguing brick building - the Cathedral Lock, which is a remnant of the Prussian Poznań Fortress, and at its end - the passage to the ICHOT Poznań Gate, one of the most interesting museums (or more precisely: the heritage interpretation center ) in Poznan. We leave it to you to decide whether you will start or finish your adventure with Ostrów and the cradle of Polish statehood here, but you definitely have to visit it. The exhibition, in a truly accessible and modern version, presents the history of the first Piast dynasty and their estates in Poznań, as well as the later history of the city. The Poznań ICHOT Gate corresponds to the surrounding monuments There are a lot of videos, multimedia, but also traditionally served information. You can go through the exhibition "roughly", stopping only at the films or animations, but you can also deepen your knowledge by reading the information-dense screens. Importantly, the audio guides offered have an option for adults and a family option. We liked the first rooms the most because they actually connect to the place where the museum was built. ICHOT and Ostrów Tumski are in close dialogue with each other, and from the ICHOT terrace you can clearly see the panorama of the Poznań island. With every step you discover something new… During our last visit, we noticed that the Cybina River had also come back to life. So far, not much has happened on it, now recreational paths have been run along its banks, which, combined with a system of city bikes and scooters, gives a lot of scope for activities. Oh, in the ICHOT building itself there is a very nice cafe and a shop with "poznanials" - various publications about the region and history. If, like us, you are passionate about bringing more guides and books from your travels, then absolutely do not go there!! #poland #museum #poznan #wow
