The Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus lived and worked here for many years, and here he is buried. Once a Medieval stronghold, Cathedral Hill is the most interesting part of the town. The oldest building is the monumental brick cathedral surrounded by defensive walls and the Bishop’s Palace (14th c) which today houses the Copernicus Museum. The hill offers a sweeping view over the Vistula Lagoon and Sandbar. Frombork is an important sailing and ice-boating centre. An international festival of organ music is held here every year.
