📜 From a princely fishing village to a Baltic resort
The first written mention of Kołobrzeg comes from 1459 — the village was then under the rule of the Pomeranian princes and lived from fishing in the Baltic. For the following centuries the settlement remained a small, self-sufficient fishing community, its rhythm of life set by seasonal trips out to sea, storms and smoking fish for sale.
The town is alive all year round — from sunbathing and cruises to sanatorium stays. The seaside promenade, the pier and the walkways are busy regardless of the season.
