Monument to Nicolaus Copernicus, Olsztyn, Poland

Nicolaus Copernicus was the administrator of the common property of the Warmia cathedral chapter. He resided in Olsztyn castle twice. The first time was when he served a three-year term as administrator, from November 8, 1516 to November 9, 1519. The second period of Copernicus’ stay in Olsztyn was connected with the last war with the Teutonic Order. After the plunder of Frombork by the Teutonic Knights, Copernicus sought refuge in Olsztyn castle, and then administered the chapter’s property from January 23, 1520 to the end of October 1521. The administrator in these areas managed the land, exercised judicial power and was responsible for tax matters.

Within the walls of Olsztyn castle, Copernicus wrote the text of the first book of “De revolutionibus…” - the work of his life, which “stopped the Sun and pushed the Earth from its foundations”.

The Green Gate, Gdansk, Poland

It was built in the years 1564-1568 on the site of the older - mentioned in 1357 - the Kogi Gate. The authorship of the design is attributed to both the Dutch builder Master Regnier and Hans Kramer, who came from Dresden. Around 1573, a wing was added to the western elevation. The ground floor of the gate housed the city scales, while the wing housed the day and night city guards.

It was supposed to be a royal residence, but despite its beautiful interiors, no king ever lived there. As a consolation, the future wife of the king - Władysław IV - Maria Ludwika Gonzaga stopped here while passing through.

The gate was rebuilt - for the first time in the 19th century, when a third floor was added and the roof was redesigned. 50 years later, a fourth gate was built. After World War II, part of the building collapsed in a fire. The Green Gate was rebuilt in the 1950s, but it was not until 2002 that the interior was opened to visitors for the first time after the war.

**Harvard learned it has an authentic Magna Carta. In 1946, it paid less than $28 for it**

“_It was a remarkable find not only for Carpenter, but for Harvard — especially since the university had paid a London bookseller just $27.50 (about $460 adjusted for inflation) for the document in 1946. An authentic Magna Carta sold in 2007 for $21.3 million._”

@frank @djangocon I would love to see a section dedicated to the story of Django on its website. It would be fantastic to read a version in the article by Frank's talk with all the photos, and perhaps articles by other members of the community, each with its special memory of the community. 💡

Archaeology student finds Viking silver hoard – The History Blog
http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/70917

"Gustav Bruunsgaard found the hoard while metal detecting earlier this year in a field near Elsted where traces of a Viking settlement have been discovered in the past. First he found one silver bangle, then returned to find another six. Experts date the arm rings to around 800 A.D., the dawn of the Viking Era (793-1066 A.D.)."
