Bydgoszcz's past and present has been influenced by its particularly favourable location, within close proximity to several rivers and the construction of Bydgoski Canal, thanks to which the city became one of the country's major inland ports.
Bydgoszcz is first of all an industrial city specialising in wood products, textiles, metal goods and chemicals, but the service and trade sectors are also intensely developing.
The neighbourhood of Bydgoszcz is woody, dominated by pine forests.
In 1878 1937 and in 1992 1993 the church was thoroughly renovated.
Its importance arose from the appearance of steamships on the Canal in 1883.
The church of St Martin and St Nicholas (Minor Basilica) in Bydgoszcz is the oldest from the preserved temples of Bydgoszcz and the first parish church of the city.
