It&#8217;s a smaller city of about 20,000 people on the bank of the Wis\u0142a (Vistula) river in the area known as Pommerania. It is a fairly old city an has at times belonged to the Teutonic Knights, Poland, and Germany (its German name was <em>Kulm<\/em>). Che\u0142mno was a member of the Hanseatic League and a prosperous trade center. You can see my pictures of Che\u0142mno here: <a href=\"http:\/\/poland.leonkonieczny.com\/Poland%202011\/Che\u0142mo\/index.html\">http:\/\/poland.leonkonieczny.com\/Poland%202011\/Che\u0142mo\/index.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once a fortified (walled) town, many of the walls still remain. It also is home to five historic and old churches, some dating back to the 11th century. When Germany invaded Poland and started World War II, they murdered about 5,000 Poles from the area. And when they retreated at the end of the war, they set fire to a number of structures in town. But, to this day, a lot of the historic beauty of Che\u0142mno remains. Enjoy the photos, I know I do. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We visited Che\u0142mno on our way to Ciechocinek, near the end of my amazing visit to Poland.
