The historical Lemara Barge mooring at the Brda riverbank, next to the granaries - the symbol of Bydgoszcz, is a unique place. It is also a technical monument and a symbol of an extremely important part of the city's history, which has become one of the most interesting tourist attractions in Bydgoszcz.In the past, whole caravans of barges pulled by strong tug boats ran along the Bydgoszcz Canal.
Lemara was one of them. It was built in 1937 at the Shipyard and Mechanical Workshops of Lloyd Bydgoski S.A. in Bydgoszcz. It’s owner was the Bydgoszcz skipper Adolf Schmidt. The barge was made available to visitors in 2014, and associations of skipper families gather there every month. Lemar also hosts concerts, performances and meetings with culture. Part of the forgotten history of "Bydgoszcz water sports" has returned to the city.
