As of December 2021, it has a population of 2,260.<ref name = population /> The town was first mentioned in a 13th-century document. In the early 16th century it was the residence of the <!-- no POV here! --> astronomer [[Nicolaus Copernicus]], who used it as a site for several of his observations. The town and its 14th century [[Frombork Cathedral|cathedral]] were badly damaged in [[World War II]]. After the war the cathedral was meticulously reconstructed and is again a popular tourist destination, listed as a [[List of Historic Monuments (Poland)|Historic Monument of Poland]]. Frombork is known as “The Jewel of [[Warmia]]” because of its many historical sites. The Museum of Copernicus in Frombork<ref>{{cite web|author=Wojciech Jan Janeczek |url=http://www.frombork.art.pl/ |title=Muzeum |publisher=Frombork |access-date=2011-09-16}}</ref> holds exhibitions related to the astronomer, as well as to astronomy in general, and includes a planetarium. One of the biggest attractions is also the annual International Festival of Organ Music, held every summer.
