This crane, the icon of Gdańsk, was built in the 14th century and renovated in 1442-4. It combined the functions of a city gate and port crane and was powered by men working huge treadmills inside. It was capable of lifting up to 2 tons to a height of 27 meters (90 feet) and could also fit masts to ships. It is situated on the Motława River.
