The castle was built in the second quarter of the 14th century, on the set of a horseshoe over an area of 1,9 ha. It played the role of a base for the conquest of the Prussians, as well as the creation of Monastic State of the Teutonic Order. The Castle served as the commander’s headquarters. Has been demolished in the 15th century by the inhabitants of Torun, and in modern period ruins were used as a garbage dump and bastion. The area of the castle in this period was very sloppy, and was tidied up in 1996. Currently, the castle is available for tourists. To date some parts were preserved, such as tower, porch, the lower parts of the walls of the underground castle and moat.

The monument was unveiled in 1914 on the well surrounded by eight frogs spouting water from their mouths. It is a proof of gratitude inhabitants of Torun for raftsman named Iwo, who rid the city of frog plague. Until the twentieth century, the poor raftsmen were engaged in the river transport of goods. For many of them Torun was a rest place. Legend says that the raftsman Iwo while resting played the violin to earn money. Frogs engrossed in his music gathered around him and were led out through the gate Chełmińska and never returned to the town.

The arc of Caesar is the result of rebuilding the town house which was founded in the first half of the 18th century. Initially, the floors of the building were used for residential purposes, while on the ground floor was a bakery. Characteristic element of the building is the Baroque statue of Michael the Archangel playing the trumpet, located on the top and appearing on each side figures, cups and metal bunting. To facilitate the traffic between Old Town and Bydgoszcz Suburb in 1911, on the basis of Karl Caesar project, the ground floor of the town house was punched, forming an arc. The name of the Arc comes from the name of this German architect. Already in 1936 they launched a tram line running under the arc of Caesar, which remained until 1970, when it was discovered that the tram traffic has a negative influence on the buildings of the old town. Also car traffic was banned. Today, under the Arc of the Caesar there is a commemorative piece of track.

Gateway was founded in 1832. It leads to the ferry crossing to the other side of the River, that's why they called it the Ferry Gate or Mobile gateway. Its present name comes from the bridge that was the only bridge in the city connecting two sides of the Vistula. To this day the fragment of the bridge remained, which is used as a vantage point and the place of rest. The gate is characterized by rounded corners and battlements, which had a defensive function. An important task of the gate was not only protection against gunfire, but also allowing communication. In addition, during the major floods, water level of the river was meant on the gate. Up to date, in the gate's passing there is an array showing the highest levels of the Vistula from the 16th to the 19th century.

Gateway leading to the old port waterfront was founded in the 14th century. In addition to defense tasks also it had representative function. At the gate important guests arriving to the city were ceremonially welcomed. For example the Polish kings, who, according to tradition, after greeting were going to Mass for St. Johns' Cathedral and then to the Old Town Hall. Every side of the gate adjoins a wall, in which some additional transitions were created. When the gate lost its defensive significance in the 18th century, it was transformed into a prison, and later into residential building. Due to the numerous expansions and changes, today only a fragment of the original building has been preserved.
