DarlowoThis maritime town of approximately 15 thousand permanent inhabitants becomes a bustling place every summer. Starting from June, crowds of holidaymakers arrive to enjoy the sunny beaches, clean air, and historical sights that contribute to the town’s nickname of “the pearl of Middle Pomerania”. Together with adjoining Darlowko, it is a popular sea resort offering many possibilities for active vacationing.

The mediaeval layout of the old town has remained almost unchanged to this day, as has the Gothic church of St Mary of Fatima from 1394. Inside you can admire the beautiful polychrome, the wooden pulpit and the tombstone of King Eric. Another interesting sight to see is the lapidary, quite near the church, and the ancient Oak of Luther. In the Main Square are the Baroque Town Hall, the Chapel of St Gertrude and a fountain with a figure of a sailor. Those who are interested in weapons and aviation should visit the open-air museum.
GEOGRAFÍA
The town is situated near the mouth of the Wieprza River on the Baltic Sea, towards the western part of the Polish coastline between Gdansk and the German border. Darlowo is located some 30 km east of Koszalin.
HISTORIA
First mentioned in documents from 1271, Darlowo became a member of the Hanseatic League in the mid 14th century. It is probable that it had already been in existence even before the 13th century as a wooden settlement known Dirlov (or Dirlovo). |
