Refectory of the Dominican monastery in Gdańsk - a Romanesque refectory (dining room), which was once part of the Dominican monastery, discovered in 2005. It is the oldest preserved cubature interior in Gdańsk, with an area of 52 m². It is located in the main city, under the Dominican Square, between the church of St. Mikołaj and Hala Targowa. It was created in the middle or in the third quarter of the 13th century. Most of the room survived in good condition, despite the fact that the building was rebuilt several times. The facility was located on a very low ground floor, about 1 meter caught in the ground. The refectory has a unique design of the vault with four fields of elliptical vaults supported on pendentives and the central pillar. He was hidden entirely underground. Initially, the building was planned again, but as a result of the opposition of conservation environments and lovers of monuments, as well as the intervention of the Ministry of Culture, the refectory went under the management of the Archaeological Museum, which at the cost of PLN 5 million made its renovation.
