The Association was founded on April 9^th , 1993. The basic aim of the Association, as stated in the statute, is to promote Toruń in its twin cities, as well as to keep up a firm relationship and contacts with them.

In the first period of the activities, the Board tried to acquire the official right to use Burghers’ Court, which was finally achieved by a resolution of the Town Council passed on June 29^th 1995, which handed the building over to the Association for 25 years’ use. Currently the Court is the seat of the Association.
