Do you know how much Sweden is in Gdańsk? What role did the city play in the battle of Sigismund III Vasa for the Swedish throne? What gift from Queen Christina is in the Oliwa Monastery? What do Gdańsk and Visby have in common?
Architecture, political emigration, art, religion, trade - the traces of the Swedish presence in Gdańsk have many faces. Wojciech Łygaś focused on little-known facts, rarely described before. An outline of the cultural and political relations between Gdańsk and Sweden up to the mid-18th century was created, set against such important historical events as the Reformation, the Northern Wars, Polish-Swedish conflicts and the history of the Hanseatic League.
