Ryt z zamku krzyżackiego w Toruniu. Przyczynek do badań nad średniowiecznymi projektami elementów architektury na obszarze panństwa zakonu krzyżackiego w Prusach
The Architectural Graffiti from the Teutonic Knights’ Castle in Toruń. A Contribution to the Study of Medieval Designs of Architectural Elements in the Teutonic Order’s Territory in Prussia

Summary/Abstract: In the light of analyses of the grooves that are now legible and photographs taken a few years ago, the architectural graffiti from the Teutonic Knights’ castle in Toruń can be read as a representation of a tracery. On the basis of earlier findings regarding the construction phases of the Toruń castle, its topography and spatial layout, an attempt was made to establish the chronology of the architectural graffiti and the function of the building in which it was located. The discovery of relics of architectural details within the upper castle and the finding of some parallels with the church of St James in the New Town of Toruń were undoubtedly crucial in explaining the reasons why the tracery had been sketched on the wall.
