Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre Centre
Brama Grodzka – Teatr NN
The “Jewish Gate” linking the Old Town with the site of the former Jewish quarter, with an exhibition on the Jewish community of Lublin before World War II.
Grodzka Gate was built in the 14th century and is also known as the “Jewish Gate.” Before World War II, the district below the castle hill beyond the gate was a thriving Jewish quarter, which the Nazis later demolished entirely. Today, inside the gate is the NN Theatre Centre, a cultural center that uses photographs, recordings, and city models to recreate the vanished Jewish Lublin. The exhibition “Lublin: Traces of Memory” is deeply moving. Outside, streetlamps and landmarks on the pavement mark the boundaries of the former Jewish quarter. Admission is free, and opening hours should be checked on the official website. From here, descending the steps leads to the castle.
Opening hours
Mon–Fri approx. 09:00–17:00; partially open on weekends
