Ołowianka is an island in Gdańsk with the Motława river flowing at its one side and the Stępka Channel at the other side. Within the framework of the city’s return ‘facing the river’ project, the former facilities of Ołowianka heat and power plant have been successfully adopted by the Polish Baltic Philharmonic. Just beyond the island, behind the bridge over the Stępka Channel, there is the Gdańsk Marina situated there. The MS Motława ferry goes between the exhibitions of the Polish Maritime Museum on the Island and the Main City. At present you can reach the Ołowianka island by means of two bridges over the Stępka Channel, they are: the Kamieniarski Bridge (which used to be a drawbridge in the past) from the Szafarnia Street at its eastern side and the bridge extending the Na Stępce Street. The latter bridge was constructed about 1916 as a railway bridge. There is the Polish Maritime Museum, The Fryderyk Chopin Polish Baltic Philharmonic as well as the Royal Granary (converted into a hotel) on the Ołowianka Island. The museum ship SS Sołdek has been moored at the bank of the Motława river. Looking for a shopping centre? Visit Fashion House!
