🌌 Żyntek: The Rooftop Spirit of Gdańsk

👋 Welcome to the World of Żyntek

High above the cobbled streets of Gdańsk Wrzeszcz, where the rooftops lean into the sky like old friends whispering secrets, lives a spirit known only to a few — Żyntek.

This website is a tribute to Żyntek — a guardian of rooftops, a keeper of forgotten dreams, and a silent companion to a boy named Alex, who once pointed to the sky and said, “Here Żyntek lives.”

On the night of November 1st, when the spirits of the past return to visit, we remember Żyntek. Not with fear, but with warmth — as one remembers a childhood friend who never truly left.
