Koszalin though not located by the sea, it is called the center of Pomerania. Koszalin is the second largest city in Western Pomerania, which lies at the junction of three regions - the Slowinski Coast, the Bialogard Plain and the Slupsk Plain. Although it has no access to the sea, it is inseparably connected with water and can confidently compete with neighbouring resorts.
Koszalin is inextricably linked with water, but not only due to its proximity to the sea, which is about 11 kilometers away. The city lies on two lakes - Jamno and Lubiatowo Północne and on the Dzierżęcinka river.
Koszalin is one of the greenest cities in Poland, over 40% of its area is taken up by forests and parks - there are as many as four in the city center. The most popular and also considered the most beautiful of them is Pomeranian Dukes' Park "A". Its area is 10 hectares, which stretches from Rzeczna Street to Kutrzeby Street. It is worth noting that the park was created between 1602 and 1816, and its development was completed around 1934.
The Koszalin City Hall
Located at the Old Town Square, the modernist City Hall was built in the 1960s. The building stands out with its rather distinctive mass and can definitely be considered a symbol of Koszalin.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
A short distance from the square is the Gothic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in the early 14th century. It is one of the few buildings in Koszalin that survived the fires that plagued the city. The largest of them took place in the eighteenth century and destroyed almost the entire city. The building dates back to 1333; in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral you will also find a 14th-century Gothic tenement house.
