HISTORY

The first records of Pobierowo date from 1386 when village was owned by the Kleis family. In the 18th century, their descendants sold the land. A century later it was transformed from a rural area to a tourist resort.
In 1907, a farmer named Frohreich built a hotel in the village. Seeblick, as it was called, was the first hotel in Pobierowo. About 40 years later people began to build more and more guesthouses that were mostly rented by Germans. Eventually, this picturesque village became a favourite holiday destination for the Germans. In all, during the interwar period approximately 1,000 guesthouses were constructed in Pobierowo.
Currently, Pobierowo is perceived as one of the most beautiful places on the seaside. Every year thousands of Polish and German tourists visit this charming village.
