Amphitheatre
The amphitheatre in Złocieniec is a new facility, built a few years ago under the development plan for the area situated by the Wąsawa River, between Mickiewicza Street and 5 Marca Street. The entire area included in the development plan, including the amphitheatre, is officially called ‘Teren rekreacyjno-sportowy im. Włókniarzy’ [Textile workers recreation and sports area]. The locals usually call it ‘the area between the bridges’. The amphitheatre comprises a roofless stage made of setts and an auditorium with wooden benches. The auditorium was integrated into the natural hill which rises from the river towards Pusta Street. The stage was provided with electrical connections to enable the installation of lighting and sound equipment. During large events and concerts a temporary roof is installed above the stage to provide protection from rain. The amphitheatre of Złocieniec is a site of many cultural and entertainment events, such as: Dni Złocieńca [the Days of Złocieniec], Festyn rodzinny [Family Picnic], Ogólnopolskie Dni Tkaczy [the National Days of Weavers], band and solo singer concerts.  A big asset of the amphitheatre is its beautiful location, practically in the centre of the town. In the vicinity of the amphitheatre there are tennis courts, a basketball court and a playground for children.

Granary
The granary dates back to the end of the nineteenth century. It was probably built in place of an older building. The building is a masonry building with horizontal and vertical beams, built in a neo-Gothic style. It is one of the characteristic places in the town. It is presented on most drawings, paintings and postcards. The granary has four 47.5 x 13 m storeys and a high gable roof. The building has no exterior plaster layer. The building is rectangular in plan. The ground floor, based on stone socle, is made of ceramic bricks. The walls of the upper storeys feature horizontal and vertical beams and bricks in between. The structure of the building features wooden beams in the corners and in the middle of the walls. The construction bears woodworking marks. The wooden elements of the building were connected by straight or diagonal grooves and overlapping mechanisms. The top of the gable roof features planks that protected the building from wind and rain. A neo-Gothic tower overlooks the roof. The interior of the granary featured beamed ceilings and two rows of pillars with binding joists. After the war the building was managed by Państwowe Gospodarstwo Rolne [the State Agricultural Farm] which used the building for storage of grain. It was used until 1989. Currently the granary has a private owner. The owner intends to transform the building into a hotel which will be a part of a complex formed by all the buildings around Wyspa Zamkowa [the Castle Island]. At present, the building can be viewed from the outside only and the entry on the premises is prohibited. The building will undergo extensive renovation and adaptation for its new purpose.

Kościół parafialny pw. św. Jerzego
Kościół został wybudowany w XIV w. prawdopodobnie na fundamentach pogańskiej świątyni. Kościół należy do gotyckich, specyficznych dla ówczesnych czasów, świątyń. Budowle te wiązano z cmentarzami lub szpitalami i lokowano poza obrębem murów miejskich, ponieważ uważano je za źródło chorób i epidemii. Według przekazów przy kościele św. Jerzego znajdował się szpital z kaplicą św. Jakuba, spalony w XVII w. Przy szpitalu zlokalizowane było również leprozorium (dom trędowatych). Kościół wielokrotnie ulegał pożarom. W latach 1870-1910 był rekonstruowany i odbudowany, wówczas też dobudowano kaplicę - zakrystię (prawdopodobnie na miejscu wcześniejszej).
Kościół jest orientowany, zbudowany z czerwonej cegły, na planie prostokąta, jednonawowy z prezbiterium zamkniętym trójbocznie. Nad dachem kościoła wznosi się wieża z dwuspadowym dachem ostrosłupowym, pokrytym dachówką ceramiczną. Okna świątyni są zakończone ostrołukowo, w oknach witraże. Po wojnie w kościele dobudowano nowy balkon, który negatywnie wpłynął na estetykę wnętrza kościoła. Do 1944 r. kościół służył jako kaplica cmentarna dla wyznania ewangelickiego. Kościół nie ma progów, jest więc dostępny dla osób niepełnosprawnych. Plac przykościelny jest zadbany, z licznymi krzewami. Na terenie tym znajduje się również zadaszenie, pod którym latem mogą być odprawiane msze, oraz budynek plebanii. Świątynia ogrodzona jest płotem.

Lapidarium żydowskie
Sześć macew ocalałych z dwóch dawnych cmentarzy żydowskich ustawiono na planie gwiazdy Dawida. Pomiędzy jej ramionami utworzył się plac o średnicy 6 metrów. Lapidarium otwarto w 2000 roku. Czarna kamienna tablica informuje w trzech językach: polskim, hebrajskim i niemieckim, co to za miejsce i jaki los spotkał kołobrzeżan pochodzenia żydowskiego z rąk niemieckich narodowych socjalistów. Napis brzmi: "Ku pamięci członków społeczności żydowskiej Kołobrzegu wywiezionych w 1940 roku i zamordowanych przez hitlerowców w dniu 28.X.1942 roku w obozie zagłady w Bełżcu. Społeczność żydowska mieszkająca w Kołobrzegu w latach 1812-1940 wniosła wielki wkład w rozwój miasta jako nadmorskiego uzdrowiska". Treść ta podpisana jest: "Mieszkańcy Kołobrzegu", a pod nią jeszcze adnotacja: "W tym miejscu w latach 1812-1938 znajdował się cmentarz żydowski".
Wojna zastała w Kołobrzegu około 300 mieszkańców narodowości żydowskiej. Kołobrzeg liczył wtedy ponad 36 tysięcy mieszkańców. Dla rozwoju miasta zasłużyli się między innymi twórcy dobrej sławy miasta jako uzdrowiska, a wśród nich lekarze z rodziny Beherend, to jest Moses, Feliks i Walter oraz Herman Emanuel i Magnus Hirschfeld, a także Eberhard Margulies.
Lapidarium żydowskie było centralnym miejscem spotkań młodzieży z różnych państw w ramach Dni Tolerancji, które obyły się trzykrotnie w latach 2000, 2001 i 2002. Szczególnie duży zasięg miały ostatnie, w których wzięli udział przedstawiciele Wielkiej Brytanii, Białorusi, Estonii, Izraela, Litwy, Łotwy, Niemiec, Polski, Rosji, Ukrainy i Włoch. Gościem honorowym  był ambasador Izraela w Polsce Shewach Weiss.

Military cementery
The cemetery is diversified in terms of architecture. Nearly 2,000 victims of the Second World War are buried there. The visitors may use convenient alleys which run amongst a field altar, a gravel square, a model of the battle, statues and graves of the soldiers. 1450 Polish and a few hundred Soviet soldiers – their estimated number is 250-400 – died in the battle of Kołobrzeg fought between 4 and 18 March 1945. The cemetery was founded around the time of unveiling the statue of Zaślubiny z Morzem [the Marriage to the Sea] – in 1963. Both places were designed by the same author – a sculptor Wiktor Tołkin. At the time, the inhabitants of Kołobrzeg focused on the development of the town as a spa town, and were in the process of tidying up after the war. It was obvious that this two-week period of 1945 in the history of the town will go down in history as one of the most important events, and that it has to be commemorated. In 1963 the corpses of the soldiers, buried in a number of small cemeteries scattered around the town and neighbouring villages, were subject to exhumation and moved to the cemetery ‘in Zieleniewo’, as it is called by the locals. The largest cemetery, which was a site of burial of soldiers right after the war, was situated by the lighthouse. The majority of soldiers buried there were Soviets. The cemetery has had its current look since 1980 when a Koszalin-based sculptor Zygmunt Wujek provided the design. At the time, a square with field altars and a statue-sarcophagus called ‘Za Polski Kołobrzeg’ [For Polish Kołobrzeg] was created on the other side of the statue of Chwała [Glory], present since 1960s and distinguished by a shield with two Crosses of Grunwald. In front of the statue-sarcophagus there is a bronze model representing the moves of tactical units and miniatures of buildings – the most important points of the street battle of March 1945. The cemetery is constantly growing in size. The bodies of soldiers buried in 13 mass graves and 2 separate graves of the second lieutenant Emilia Gierczak and major Konstanty Klimienko – a hero of the Soviet Union - are not the only ones. To the left of the altar seven soldiers of the ‘Pomorze’ [Pomerania] Army – prisoners of war captive since September 1939 who died in the then German Kołobrzeg in a lazaret – were buried. Next, there is a site of burial of the soldiers of the Home Army. On the other side of the square there is a site of burial of veterans, and exiles from Siberia and other victims of Soviet persecution who settled in the Kołobrzeg County after the war. There are also two graves of German pilots whose bodies were found in 1991 in a wreck of Focke-Wulff 190 airplane which crashed at the entrance to the port. The remains of the airplane and personal belongings of the pilot and the mechanic were moved to the Museum of the Polish Army.
Not all the names on the mass graves are consistent with the truth, as after so many years the identification of human remains without the so-called dog tags was difficult.
In the main section of the cemetery there is a site of burial of those who participated in the battles of Kołobrzeg, Lenino and Western Front, e.g. the battle of Monte Cassino. Despite earlier animosity, the veterans in Kołobrzeg form one organization that assembles veterans from all fronts. As long as the last participant of the Second World War lives, the military cemetery in Kołobrzeg will grow in size.
The altar was built with the use of the stones from the Saint George Church, a subject of fierce battles. Although the church had not been completely destroyed and it was in a relatively good shape considering the contemporary standards in Kołobrzeg, it was pulled down after the war.
By the site of burial of Sybiraks there is a memorial wall commemorating the victims of Soviet forced-labour camps called ‘Golgota Wschodu’ [Golgotha of the East] and a section of genuine rail tracks that makes one realize the suffering caused by resettlement to the East.
The cemetery is adorned by well-kempt plants. The municipal cemetery, including the military cemetery, is cared for by the ‘Zieleń Miejska’ company.

Monument of Poland’s Wedding to the Sea
This modernist monument, created by Viktor Tołkin, has been the symbol of the city since November 1963, when it was unveiled in the uplifted atmosphere of the state celebrations. It is often portrayed on postcards. While walking in the harbour between the lighthouse and the pier, it is impossible to miss it. The monument commemorates military and political success of Polish soldiers, who on 18 March 1945, after ten days of street fights - the bloodiest event of this kind in the history of the Polish Army during the WWII - forced Germans from the city and reached the Baltic Sea. A symbolic “wedding to the Sea” took place. The concrete form portrays standard-bearers and a flag hanging down towards the sea. Under the flag, there is a gap which symbolises the regained access to the sea – a symbolic gateway, here the stairs were placed. Terracotta mosaic shows scenes from the battle. At the base of the pedestal there are granite plates with engraved names of the military units which fought in the battle of Kołobrzeg. The monument was in a really poor condition because of the influence of the sea breeze and the poor quality of materials of which it was made. Therefore, in 2014, it underwent a complete renovation. The renovation works were supervised by son of Andrzej Tołkin (the artist died the previous year).

Old Town
The Old Town of Karlino is the centre of the town. There is a Town Hall, a church and a few old residential tenement buildings. Currently, the market square is referred to as Jan Paweł II [John Paul II] Square. The Old Town had its look changed many times over the centuries. It particularly refers to the Town Hall building. According to the oldest surviving representation of the Old Town, the Town Hall was a building smaller than the church, but equally majestic. The building was constructed in the place of the old Town Hall which burnt down in 1643 when a fire hit the town. At the time, the Town Hall was situated in the very centre of the Old Town. Unfortunately, the newly-constructed building was also gutted by a devastating fire on 18 April 1685 on Good Friday. The next building was constructed in 1705 in place of the old one. The newest building was more solid, with wattle and daub construction, daubed with clay. The roof was covered with conventional tiles and pantiles, and it featured two chimneys. The ground floor housed: garrison rooms, tax office, meeting room and a small jail. The first floor housed the Town Council and garrison rooms. The attic was used to store wool. The building survived 100 years until its poor technical condition started to endanger the life of its users. Thus, the works on the new Town Hall began. It was built in place of a former cemetery which was moved to another location. The new building was built in western frontage. The decision was unwise as the new building in large part obstructed the view on the church. The construction was completed in 1800 and the market square became a large open space. This building was also met by a sad destiny. On 27 January 1907 the inhabitants of the town celebrated the birthday of Wilhelm II by adorning the building with candles and lanterns which led to another mishap. The fire which broke out gutted the Town Hall. The foundations were the only thing left. It was rebuilt in 1913 and situated at the place of another building in the corner at Waryńskiego Street. Thus, the view on the church was unobstructed again, and one could see it in its full glory. Today’s Town Hall is an eclectic building with a neo-Gothic vault. The elevation is embellished with rich moulding and neo-Renaissance top with a cartouche and the coat of arms of the town. The front elevation features a clock. In 2006 the building was renovated and provided with lighting which illuminates the building at night. The remaining buildings in the Old Town of Karlino are typical for contemporary urban architecture. The house at 17 Plac Jana Pawła II Street, also called ‘Napoleon’s house’ has an interesting history. The name is misleading as the house has no connection with Napoleon. However, one of the emperor’s generals – Parma – stationed there. Over the years, a legend arose saying that it was Napoleon himself who stationed in the house. But the house was visited by another notable person, namely Duchess Louise, the Queen of Prussia. The event took place in 1798. The Queen allegedly staid at the house during her journey from Berlin to Królewiec. The place was selected because the building was new, it had a kitchen and it satisfied the needs of the Queen. Today, the first floor of the building is used for residential purposes and the ground floor will probably serve as a Tourist Information Centre.

Palace and court park in Cieszyn
The English-style park was established adjacent to the eclectic palace in the second half of the 19th century. Today the preserved garden is about 5.5 hectares. Nature lovers will find specimens of goldcock, silver oliver, green Douglas fir, Lawson cypress, firs and spruces. The palace houses a recreation center.

Ruiny zespołu pałacowego
Pałac został zbudowany w latach 1731-1745 przez rodzinę Golców, którzy byli właścicielami wsi Kłębowiec od XVI wieku. Była to budowla w stylu barokowym, nawiązującym do wzorów francuskich, zaprojektowana zasadniczo na planie prostokąta, rozbudowanego ryzalitami tworzącymi niemal oddzielne skrzydła, zaś poprzez dobudowanie w narożnikach dwóch oficyn układ całości przybrał kształt podkowy. Główna  fasada zwrócona jest na północ, elewacja ogrodowa zaś na południe. Pałac był dwukondygnacyjny, przy czym piętro części głównej było wyższe, niż piętra skrzydeł bocznych, w których większość pomieszczeń miało przeznaczenie gospodarcze . Pałac został wymurowany z cegły ceramicznej, pierwotnie otynkowany, z bogatymi zdobieniami architektonicznymi,  licznymi pilastrami, ryzalitami, gzymsami. Również w wnętrzach wielu pomieszczeń występowały profilowane gzymsy, stiukowe dekoracje, różnokształtne płyciny urozmaicające płaszczyzny ścienne. Zachowało się zdjęcie wnętrza sieni pałacu, na którym widoczne są dwuskrzydłowe drzwi zdobione płycinami w formie zbliżonej do owalu obramowanych szczeblinami w kształt prostokątów o zróżnicowanych wymiarach.   Na ścianach jednej z sal zachowały się malowidła, w innej – arkadowe wnęki w ścianach. Przed kilkunastu laty widoczna była dobrze zachowana wieńcząca szczyt tarcza herbowa flankowana postaciami rycerzy w zbrojach i hełmach z przyłbicami. Na niej gniazdo założyła para bocianów, dodając ruinom malowniczości. Obramowania okien również przez wiele lat przyciągały wzrok zdobieniami.  Po pożarze w 1945 r. zamek stopniowo popadał w ruinę. Ciekawostką może być fakt, iż najdłużej w miarę dobrym stanie zachowała się kaplica ewangelicka w oficynie wschodniej. Istnieje legenda mówiąca o tym, że w czasie budowy pałacu ktoś z rodziny Goltzów obraził starą kobietę, mieszkającą w tej wsi. Wielu mieszkańców Kłębowca i innych okolicznych wsi uważało, iż zajmuje się ona czarami. Na pewno zaś znała się na zielarstwie i umiała wyleczyć wiele chorób. Pomagała i ludziom i zwierzętom, zawsze więc jakieś zwierzaki kręciły się koło niej. Młody von Goltz  (imienia legenda nie wspomina, rzucił kamieniem w kota towarzyszącego kobiecie idącej przez wieś. Kiedy zwróciła paniczowi uwagę, ten wyśmiał ją obraźliwie. Kobieta powiedziała po cichu: „Zło do złego wraca, ty się ani zdrowiem ani pieniędzmi nie będziesz cieszył, a twoje dzieci nie pomieszkają w tym pałacu”. Budowa pałacu zakończyła się w 1745 roku, Goltzowie po czterdziestu latach przestali być jego właścicielami.

The Brewery in Połczyn Zdrój
The Brewery in Połczyn Zdrój was founded in 1825 by Herman Fuhrmann. It is one of the oldest of its kind in Poland. What is left after the management of the facility by its founder is simple flat street leading to the brewery. The alley was created when Karl Fuhrmann ordered to dig the hill to prevent the trucks from slipping down the slope in winter. Besides, thanks to the owner of the brewery, the residents of Połczyn Zdrój had tap water. When they were building the aqueduct in the late nineteenth century, the owner of the brewery gave consent to supply houses with water from the intake belonging to the plant. In the years 1865-1945, the brewery was one of the biggest ones in Western Pomerania. After the war, it was nationalised like other plants, and the Fuhrmanns left for Germany. The brewery building is huge, covered with clinker bricks and coming from the twentieth century. Unfortunately, the post-war period was not favourable for the brewery. The plant was unlucky in the hands of subsequent owners. In the 1990s, a branch of the Koszalin brewery was there. Then, Brok beer was produced there. In 2002-2005 the brewery in Połczyn Zdrój was taken over by Browary Polskie Brok-Strzelec S.A., a brewing group, which stopped the production of beer in 2003 due to financial problems. In 2003-2007, there was Sagittarius-Strzelec S.A. in the brewery, which started the production of soft drinks and mineral water. Then, in place of the brewery, Spring Water Production Plant Połczyn Zdrój was established. In 2007, the plant was leased by the company Brewer Poland Sp. z o.o., which is owned by Brewer s.r.o., a Czech company. The brewery resumed the production of beer under the name of the Połczyn Zdrój Brewery. In 2008, the company bought a majority stake of Wytwórnia Wody Źródlanej Połczyn Zdrój S.A. and changed its business name to Fuhrmann Sp. z o.o. With the change of the owner, the plant changed its business name to Browar Fuhrmann. At that time, beer for retail chains, other clients and for export accounted for a large part of production. Unfortunately, the company Fuhrmann Sp. z o.o. declared arrangement bankruptcy in 2010. The situation changed at the end of 2010 when the trust fund, which had been the lender up to then, became the owner of the company. It was a very successful move. The brewery sold more than 100 000 hectolitres of beer in 2011 and  production was doubled in 2012. A 25% increase in sales was recorder and progress persists. At the heyday of the brewery, it employed 120 people and produced 350 000 hectolitres of beer per year. The brewery building is historic, but modern technologies and solutions have been implemented inside. The fact remains that beer is brewed by old recipes. The brewery can be seen only from the outside.

The Co-Cathedral Basilica
When the town became established in a new place after its foundation in 1255, a construction of a large church started at the end of the 13th century. The works lasted more than one hundred years, yet still in the 15th century not everything was finished. For instance, towers looked completely different. There were two separate towers, which were joined into a one tower complex. Most likely, already during the construction works, a construction disaster occurred and almost 40-metre high pillars tilted. They did not, however, overturn; they were stabilized and stand there up to this day, as much as 62 centimetres out of plumb. They rouse sincere astonishment among tourists. A collegiate church, a co-cathedral, a minor basilica – all these designations can be applied to this church, which is a monumental example of red brick Gothic and, simultaneously, the oldest and the largest from the most important historic monuments of Kołobrzeg. It is not tall (74 m), but it stands out due to its width – it is the only Polish five-aisle church. Beside the nave and the aisles, there are also side aisles created after developing a part of buttresses.
The last Evangelical pastor, Paul Hinz, foreseeing the destruction during the Second World War, secured valuables, paintings and the elements of the church’s interior from bombarding. They survived the battle of Kołobrzeg in March 1945, hidden in cellars, sheds, and villages around Kołobrzeg. The basilica itself was ruined. Only a presbytery, towers, and a part of walls survived. Tower cupolas were destroyed as well as roofs, windows, and interior. The building was rebuilt in the 1980s and the 1990s, after the authorities of the People’s Republic of Poland handed it over back to the Church, which took place in 1976.
The basilica was initially a Roman Catholic church and after the Reformation, from the 1530s till the end of the Second World War – a Protestant church. Nowadays, it is Roman Catholic again, for of this denomination were people who settled there after incorporating these lands into Poland as a result of the Second World War.
The majority of the precious items that survived returned to the basilica. Tourists can find a candlestick, candelabrums, a baptismal font, paintings, stalls, and tombstones. Some of these historic items go back to the 14th century. In 2000, a pipe organ were brought from the Netherlands and started to be used. In 2013, an overlook was opened for tourists in the church’s tower. In order to see a panorama of the town, tourists have to mount 216 steps or use a lift. Stained glass windows, which create a cycle of Marian sanctuaries, are still being completed; in 2015, only one was missing – one located nearby the altar, form the northern side.
Tourist can visit the basilica for 20 minutes, just as well they spend there more than 2 hours. Even during the shortest visit inside the church, the tilted pillars in a row on the right (looking from the main entrance) cannot pass unnoticed. The latest geological research proves the presence of a layer of unstable sands under this part of the church. What is more, a watercourse flowing there was discovered. Thus, the explanation that columns located on such an unstable ground had tilted by themselves already during the construction works in the late 14th century becomes more and more certain. Then, which does not have to be guessed at due to the written sources, there were attempts made in order to prevent the pillars from tilting on. They have been fastened together with clamps and joined with oaken beams near the vault. They do not go on tilting. Heading right from doors, in the rear part of a southern side aisle, one can find a board with pictures of the cathedral before 1945 and damaged after 1945. There is also a portrait of the above-mentioned pastor Paul Hinz. Along the southern aisle, we reach a seven-branched candelabrum from 1327. The only such a preserved Gothic candelabrum in Poland was cast from bronze by Jan Apengeter on the model of a Jewish menorah. For several reasons, however, it cannot be called a menorah: first, it is not made of gold; secondly, it has not been cast in one piece; thirdly, it does not imitate an almond tree but a vine; finally, the figurines of the 12 Apostles ultimately make it clear that it is a Christian candelabrum, not a menorah. This almost 700-year old work of art was found in the 1950s in the vaults of the basilica by workmen who did not realized how precious it was. Had it not been for the intervention of a historian Jan Frankowski, who came to Kołobrzeg from Cracow, the candelabrum would have ended up in a scrap yard. More than 900 kilograms of bronze! Jan Frankowski knew what he was dealing with and bought various parts for a few bottles of vodka, had it restored, and in 1981, the renovated candelabrum returned to Kołobrzeg richer by this dramatic story. Four metres tall and almost as wide, the object is without any doubt the pride of the church.
Walking towards the candelabrum, we pass paintings hanging on the wall. There are medallions of the founders visible in the paintings of “The Healing of Naaman” and “The Prostration of Three Kings”. And there is a curiosity. In the latter painting, Szymon Adabar included himself and both his wives. Painters also included much of symbolism and hidden messages in the paintings. These images narrate unbelievable stories to their viewers. The proof of this is “The Danse Macabre” also known as “The Knight on the Cemetery”, which concerns the fundamental issues of good and evil, life and death, salvation and damnation. So we have a scene in which the knight is praying in the face of advancing forces of evil symbolized by a dragon on a red banner of the attacking troops. His ardent prayer was answered and the dead came out of their graves in order to help him. One skeleton is armed with a paddle, another with a drill, third one with scissors, and other with the attributes which they used to use in their professions. The painting is like an epitaph of the knight, known by his name and surname, because they are revealed by an inscription, which, translated from German, says: “Ask God for the soul of Severt Grantzin”. At the end of the wall, by the descent into the crypt of Cardinal Ignacy Jeż, there is yet another interesting painting – “The Virtuous Woman” from the late 15th century. Though it is seen against the light falling through the window and the details are hard to notice, it is enough to take a picture, even with a phone that we carry with us, and then magnify it to see what is shown within the frame. The woman depicted in the painting has her mouth locked by a padlock and her ears wadded with keys; she is girded with a snake and has horse’s hooves instead of feet. There is a little bird shown on her breast. The woman holds a cross in her hand and looks at it. The symbolism of the painting says that woman shall not talk too much or listen to gossip. She should stay stably on the faith’s ground, with her eyes fixed on the Holy Trinity. She must not allow sin to approach her and she ought to bravely take care of the hearth and home.
On weekdays, side entrances are closed, so visitors necessarily have to go back to the main entrance. It is a stroll full of impressions. It is worth focusing on the altar, presbytery, and nave. In these places, there is an accumulation of precious items. The oaken canons’ pews are the oldest ones in Poland, coming from 1340. They differ from the town councillors’ pews from the 15th century not only in material from which they were made – these are made of linden tree – but also in colour and ornamentation. The burghers’ pew is beautifully colourful with woodcarving depicting the Sybil of Tybur with the Emperor Augustus, a Maria with Child, a sinner devoured by a devil-dragon, a knight and a bishop. Moreover, the woodcarver – most likely coming from the Cistercian Order – found a place for ornamental motifs of military character, such as armours, shields, helmets, etc. On the left from the altar, there is a baptismal font from 1355, richly embellished, cast from bronze by Jan Alart. Its ornaments are arranged in a narrative consisting of 26 scenes from the life of the Chris. The altar triptych – “The Last Supper”, “The Adoration of the Magi”, and “The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Saint Nicholas” – whose parts are located on the left and on the right of the altar and in the presbytery, was made about 1500. The bas-relief “The Last Supper” is the only piece of the 17th-century altar destroyed during the Napoleonic War of 1807. If we raise our eyes, we will be able to see chandeliers hanging from the vault, now fitted with energy saving fluorescent lamps. The most impressive one, called “The Crown of the Schlieffens” comes from 1523. It is made of wood in a form of an elongated octangle, gold-plated and painted, embellished with figurines of angels. Its central placed is taken by the Mother of God with Child and John the Baptist. These figures are protected by a canopy resembling a firmament. Experts say that the most valuable of the hanging candlesticks is a more than 100 years older “Crown of the Holks” (1420). It is inconspicuous but distinguished with the elaborateness of its brazen details. This chandelier is hanging closest to the altar. This is all what is worth noticing in the basilica in Kołobrzeg. There are also other paintings, tombstones, vaults, and a pillar. What requires a few words of explanation is the crypt of the first bishop of the diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg (established in 1972), Cardinal-nominate Ignacy Jeż (1914-2007). He died in Rome after his nomination without accepting the Cardinal’s hat. He himself chose the vaults of the basilica in Kołobrzeg as his resting place, and, taking this fact in consideration, he supervised the removal of the old boiler room that was no longer necessary, for the church had been already connected with the urban heating network. The basilica, although historic, is a living church in which, from time to time, items worthy to be seen by tourists arrive. Someone, who visited the church in the 1990s, is going to find it somewhat changed these days.
On weekdays and Sundays the first Mass starts at 7.00 am, the last one – at 7.00 pm (in July and August at 8.00 pm).

The Heritage Park - Grupa Warowna Cegielnia [The Fortified Complex - 'The Brickyard']
The Fortified Complex Cegielnia, which is a part of the fortifications of the Pomeranian Wall, is located between Lake Zamkowe and Lake Chmiel Duży.
This section of the Pomeranian Wall served as a seal between the natural barriers that were used in the planning and building of fortifications of the Wałcz Lake District.  Roughness of the terrain, however, made it possible to create a defence line with the hidden lookout and shooting positions. Therefore, between 1932 and 1936 shelters for machine-gun positions of a wide range of fire through the use of armoured cupolas, rooms hiding field anti-tank guns and lookout posts were built. In 1944, fortifications began to be expanded: additional shooters' posts, anti-infantry and antitank obstacles, reinforced concrete observation and battle posts were started to be erected.
As a result, the core of the FC Cegielnia is made up of the two so-called B-type shelters - the B - Verks. The first shelter is equipped with a six-rifle observation dome and a flanking casemate. The other one was a passive shelter with weapons only in the flanking casemate. The posterns of each shelter lead to two towers equipped with a 3- rifle dome.  There are also two multi-sector B1 shelters, strengthened to the B type at places. They had no armoured domes and their protection was in the form of armour plates.
The Fortified Complex Cegielnia assumed the form of two lines shelters. The first line includes main shelters, multi-sector buildings and two single-sector shelters with anti-tank firewalls. The second one comprises the bunkers / or the B1 combat shelter of various applications - flanking and frontal fire, a passive and observation shelter for anti-tank guns and their operators - a unique building in the Pomeranian Wall.
The positions were strengthened in 1944 by several small shelters called colloquially the Tobruks.
The fortifications manned by more numerous German forces on 25th and 26th January 1945. Soviet troops began first operations there on 31st January, regular harassing fire from mortars and by light artillery started on 6th February. On 11th February, this fortified complex was abandoned by the Germans.
The bunkers were blown up by Polish and Russian sappers at the turn of February 1945 and a barbed wire was demolished in subsequent years, also the ditches were filled up, and the appearance of the area was changed as a result of sand extraction and creation of landfills.  The remains of one of the shelters collapsed as a result undermining in the 1980s.
Currently, it is used as a military museum, which is a branch of the Wałcz Land Museum. In addition to the public shelters, what is prepared for visitors there is a permanent exhibition in the exhibition pavilion and an interesting exhibition of militaries, often supplied with more vehicles and various types of weapons. What is more, Na Bunkrach Cinema operates there on the occasion of the events. Several times a year, the Heritage Park and the environs are the stage of various events like outdoor stage productions, concerts, military parades. The Wałcz Land Museum regularly organises rallies passing by the fortifications of the Pomeranian Wall that end with a military picnic.

The Lighthouse
The lighthouse is a historical navigation point. At the same time it serves as an observation point and a tourist attraction. It is also one of the symbols of Kołobrzeg.
The fist lights leading ships to the harbour, were lit in Kołobrzeg in 1666. The lighthouse makes the harbour in Kołobrzeg visible from the sea from the distance of almost 30 km. Together with the lighthouse of Gąski, on the east, and of Niechorze, on the west, it creates a coherent lighthouse system. The optical system consisting of twenty 200W light bulbs is located at the height of 36,5 m. The tower is 26 meters high and it was built on  18th-century historic fort. To get to the top, visitors must climb 110 winding steps – part of which are spiral, masonry stairs located in a narrow staircase, and the remaining metal stairs run inside the tower.
The present-day lighthouse replaced the old one, which was damaged during the World War II. It was built in 1945 by the Red Army to commemorate their victory over the Nazis. Initially, there was a five-pointed star on the top and an inscription in Russian which glorified the military success from the period between 1941 and 1945. At that time, there was a military cemetery at the foot of the lighthouse. As the time passed by, the lighthouse was stripped of all elements of ideology.
The fort, on the foundation of which the lighthouse was built, is also of great historical value. The fact that it was capable of carrying the huge weight of the lighthouse shows how durable and trustworthy this fortification from 1770 - 1774 was. This three-storey construction, with the still active artesian source of sweet water on the lowest level, was used to protect the harbour. The well is covered with a clear disk. It is situated in the same part of the underground where the Mineral Museum is located. In the other part of the basements there is a culture- entertainment and music club. Between the floors inside the tower, there are maritime exhibitions and souvenirs stands.
Normal ticket costs 6 PLN, reduced ticket 4 PLN (available for primary, secondary and high school students). No group tickets are available. Organised group are entitled to see the mineral exhibition without additional charge.

The Polish Arms Museum
The centre is within the paid parking zone and the network of one-way streets. Getting to the area of ​​interest by E. Gierczak Street is only possible from the side of the Parsęta River along Rzeczna Street. Aircraft, tanks and cannons can be seen from behind the fence after passing the intersection with G. Narutowicza Street. Rzeczna Street has apparently a large number of parking spaces, but the number is not enough in the season. The Maritime Heritage Park can be reached by driving down Solna Street and into Bałtycka Street. The area around the museum is still not paved. The last hundred metres of the access road runs along a dirt road. While driving along Solna, behind the Kanał Drzewny [a distributary channel of the Parsęta River] You can notice massive grey hulls of ships put ashore, which makes the location of Skansen very simple.
Although the name 'Museum of the Polish Army' suggests great military collection and encourages to visit it for this very reason, it does not reflect the whole truth about this institution. It has a much richer offer, because its four branches located in different parts of Kołobrzeg have not only military collections, but also archaeological finds proving impressive more than a thousand years of the history of the city.
The museum started its operations in 1963 as a military museum. Today, however, the nature of the institution can be described as a military, historical, municipal and maritime one.
The main attraction of the institution is the 'hue and weapons,' or arms, equipment and uniforms of Polish troops from the Middle Ages until today. They are gathered in the pavilion and at an outdoor exhibition in the city centre. Visitors can see the exhibits known from school, books and films, but they also discover interesting facts such as the world's only flat projectile to the Shuvalov's secret howitzer. Another attraction is the original copy of the cipher machine 'Enigma'. The same pavilion has, among other things, a wreckage of a German plane Focke-Wulf 190, fished from the sea near the entrance to the port Kołobrzeg as late as 56 years after the war - in September 1991. Another interesting exhibit is an anti-tank rifle UR, which pierced each and every tank during the war, making 20-millimetre holes in the armour. While wandering through the place rich in history, from arrowheads and hussars’ feathers, You get to a convincingly arranged exhibition dedicated to the Battle of Kołobrzeg in March 1945 with an impressive painting - a panorama on canvas. Then we step outside, where the cannons are placed, as well as self-propelled guns, planes and tanks, including famous T-34, almost the same as 'Rudy 102’, in which the crew of the well-known series fought during the war. Ballistic Scud missiles, MiG-19 and Iryda planes are examples of modern military technology to be seen in the museum. The collection of exhibits is constantly being expanded, and many of them are used in films.
There is another attraction neighbouring with the arms. The museum includes a modest merchant townhouse building from the fifteenth century. It should be added that its owner was not among the financial elite of Kołobrzeg. He drove a horse cart through the gate preserved to this day. He stored the goods in the basement, and his family lived above. Hens and pigs were bred in the backyard. In the town devastated in numerous wars, including the World War II, even this house is a treasure that should be appreciated.
A completely different atmosphere prevails in the bicentennial palace of the family of Brunszwicki (the Braunschweigs). There, in three large rooms, on the ground floor and in the basement, collections are placed. These are mostly archaeological discoveries concerning the history of the city. The elegant building, typical of the Empire style, has 'the Ceiling Room' on the first floor, decorated with paintings and knight's armours, and which hosts concerts and cultural events. The history of Kołobrzeg is interwoven with multiple themes: settlement at the mouth of Parsęta, the beginning of salt boiling, the chartered city, Hanseatic city, a fortress, and a health resort in the end. An interesting collection comprises archaeological finds such as a thirteenth-century statue of St John the Evangelist made of wood, coins, fabrics, jewellery, or examples of craftsmanship and everyday objects.
The Marine Heritage Park is the newest division of the Kołobrzeg museum. The very putting the ships ashore with the help of huge cranes in 2012 was interesting enough. The hulls were placed on prepared supports. What is more, not only vessels are shown to visitors, but also, among other things, rudders and screws. After the withdrawal from service, whereby the ships ORP Fala and ORP Władysławowo were salvaged. Visitors have the opportunity to pass through a room for the crew, an engine room, a kitchen, captain bridges and gunners' positions on the ships, which particularly appeals to the imagination. To feel cold steel, to inhale the smell of grease and to avoid bruises in narrow corridors is like becoming a sailor yourself. Some fragments of ORP Burza, naval mines and torpedoes are also exposed at the park.
This one of the most popular museums in Poland; about 130,000 visitors come there each year.

The Professor Ryszard Siwecki Hornbeam Walk
The Professor Ryszard Siwecki Hornbeam Walk became protected as a natural monument under the Resolution No. XVI / 211/03 of the Town Council of Kołobrzeg as of 29th December 2003.It is a nineteenth-century hornbeam alley. It consists of 277 trees - 101 old and 176 young (5-6 year old) ones. The aim of the existence of the walk is to create a vault made of plants. To that end, the trees grow on a special construction facilitating the formation of the desired shape. The patron of the walk in Kołobrzeg became Professor Ryszard Siwecki. He acted in favour of the greenery in Kołobrzeg, for example he tried to save the walk and restore its former glory.

The railway bridge across Radew
The railway bridge across Radew in Karlino is one of the most interesting architectural monuments in the region. It adorns the town and it is an integral part of the image of Karlino.  The bridge was built in 1859. Wilhelm I himself, the Prince Regent and later the German Emperor, took part in the opening celebrations. The bridge lied on the Stargard-Koszalin-Kołobrzeg route. At the time, the bridge was a true accomplishment in bridge engineering, as evidenced by a detailed description of the construction of the bridge published in ‘Czasopismo Inżynierii Budowlanej’ [Construction Engineering Magazine], a contemporary German engineering magazine published in Berlin. The prewar inhabitants of Karlino used to call it ‘Bogen’, i.e. arches. The bridge is imposing, made of red bricks with five arches. The best view over the bridge is offered from the kayaking harbour in Karlino.

The St John the Betrothed branch church
The church in its current form was built in 1929 as an Evangelical church. It stands out against the other churches in the Wałcz region with its original form in a style referring to modernistic elements. The building of the church was designed on a plan of two rectangles connected with each other by their narrower sides. The first, larger rectangle houses the nave; the second, smaller one consists of a presbytery and a sacristy. The transition between the nave and the presbytery is very interesting. The presbytery has a vault that is a continuation of the main body’s vault, but the side walls extend from the walls of the sacristy. It results from narrowing of the rear gable wall symmetrically on both sides and adding the sacristy. In the front wall, there is the main entrance with double wooden doors decorated with planks arranged symmetrically along two axes in a herringbone pattern. A rectangular fanlight catches the eye with a fanciful stained glass window. The fanlight is topped with a band of profiled bricks arranged transversely to the rest. In the upper part of the gable wall, there are tall, rectangular windows – identical ones are located in the side walls of the presbytery. The side walls of the main body are reinforced by straight buttresses dividing them into three parts. In each part, there are windows in a shape similar to a square. The same windows are located in the side walls of the sacristy.
The nave is covered by a convexo-concave roof, topped in the front part with a low tower on a square-shaped plan, boarded with planks, with a hipped roof crowned with a cross. The outbuilding where the sacristy is located has a three-hipped roof. An additional decorative element is a colour contrast between red brick walls and green roofing.The church in its current form was built in 1929 as an Evangelical church.

The St Mary of the Angels church in Rąbino with its surroundings
The St Mary of the Angels church in Rąbino is a Roman Catholic parish church. The building was erected in the years 1925-27. The church, built on a Latin cross plan, was placed on a granite pedestal. The church consists of a nave along with a presbytery and a sacristy separated with a rectangular break. The presbytery ends in a semi-circular apse covered with a three-hipped roof. The windows of the apse are decorated by stained glass compositions. The church has a quadrangular three-storey tower.  The walls are built of ceramic brick. The church roof is covered with galvanized sheeting. Inside the church, there is a wooden internal gallery, which can be accessed by wooden steps. The gallery is supported by four wooden pillars. The church windows are rectangular, finished semi-circularly. The church can be accessed by a porch from the south. A side entrance leads to the sacristy, up the tower, and to the staircase leading to the internal gallery. On the choir, there is a still working pipe organ. There are two bells in the belfry. There is no original furnishings in the church; the majority comes from the 19th century. Among the noteworthy elements are the stained glass windows in the apse depicting Eucharistic symbols, the wooden internal gallery, a wooden confessional, and external and side doors. The church is surrounded by a municipal cemetery. There are old-growth trees within the churchyard.

The St Michael the Archangel church
The St Michael the Archangel church in Karlino was built in the late Gothic style. It was erected in 1510 by order of Bishop Martin Carith, most likely in place of a previous church destroyed in 1409. The church is an oriented, non-plastered, three-nave building made of brick. On the side of the building, there is a tower with the entrance to the church. The tower has a gable roof; similarly, the entire church has a gable roof, covered with sheet copper. Window openings are finished with a circular arch. The presbytery of the church is separated from the nave, finished three-sidedly. The aisles have various heights. Inside, there is a stellar vault, with ribs protruding from the walls. The building used to be a Protestant church. The parish of the church included the town of Karlino and the villages of Kowańcz, Redlino, and Karścino. The church was surrounded by a cemetery, where the inhabitants of Karlino and nearby villages were buried. In the early 19th century, the cemetery was moved to Koszalińska Street on the Wiatraczne Hill. The present appearance of the church differs from the original looks, because the building was considerably damaged in a fire in 1685. The accounts tell that during the fire, the life-sized painting of Bishop Martin Carith was destroyed. In 1807, the church was a place where the French troops were stationing. Because of the fact that it was also used as a military warehouse, the building was significantly damaged. A part of furnishings was moved to a rectory, where services were conducted. Not earlier than in the end of the 19th century did the church regain its original character. Later, the church was renovated several times; for instance in 1866, 1872, 1890, and in 1894. In 2006, the area surrounding the church was developed as a part of revitalization of the Karlino’s town centre. At that time, a monument of the patron saint of the parish of St Michael the Archangel was erected there. In 2012, the church underwent a major overhaul as a part of a project subsidized by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. During the works, the church tower was renovated and adapted for visitors. Tourists can visit the tower after previous arrangement with the Tourist Information Centre. There is also an opportunity of having a guided tour around the tower.
A pipe organ in the church in Karlino is particularly noteworthy. It was built in the neo-Gothic style, most likely in 1854 (as an inscription on a pipe indicates). In 2008, the instrument, not used for many decades, was renovated. Interestingly, the keyboard of the pipe organ has its colours reversed. Tonic keys – normally white – are black, made of ebony, while diatonic keys – usually black – are covered with ivory. The historic furnishings of the church include several tombstones from the 17th and the 18th century, a classicist chandelier made from crystal glass from the 19th century, a cast-iron bell from 1686, made by Ernest Kreideweiss, the painting of “The Burial of Jesus Christ” from 1858, a classicist altar from the 18th century with the oil painting of “The Prayer in the Garden” from 1891, painted by E.A. Fischer (the original sketch is located in the Museum of the Karlino Region), a Romanesque granite stoup from the 12th century, found during the development of the area surrounding the church; currently, excavated and cleaned, it is situated near the side entrance to the church.
The church is available to the disabled due to a driveway for wheelchairs leading to the entrance. From many interesting stories connected with the church, three are worth mentioning. The first one is the information that the church is probably connected with the former castle of the bishops of Kamień Pomorski with an underground tunnel. Another interesting information is that the last Catholic bishop of Pomerania – Erazm von Mantueffel, living in the castle in Karlino in the years 1521-1544 – is buried there. What is more, it is said that Karol Wojtyła prayed in this church, when he stayed there with his friends during one of his canoe trips.
Masses’ schedule: Mon-Fri: 7 am and 6 pm, Sun: 8 am, 9.30 am, 11 am, 12.15 am, and 6 pm.

The St Peter and St Paul branch church
The first church in Dobino existed already in the early 14th century. It is not certain if this wooden building survived up to the 19th century or it was rebuilt in the meantime. There are, however, preserved records about Swedish troops plundering the church in 1635. Soldiers stole then, among other things, a precious chalice and 1000 guldens. In 1836 a brick building was erected in place of much damaged church. The new church was built in the neo-Romanesque style, of granite stones and ceramic bricks (corners, reveals, window framing, and cornices).  Initially, the building had no tower, which was added in 1909.
It is a single-nave church with a rectangular presbytery ending with a sacristy built on a half hexagon plan with a separate entrance in the eastern part. The main door, to which two wide steps lead, are located in the lower part of the tower, built in the first stage of the construction. It is a wooden, double, panel doors. The panels are filled with planks decorated with diagonal muntin bars. The fanlight is topped with a semi-circular arch, divided vertically into three parts, which were, in turn, divided into four uneven parts with muntin bars. The main entrance portal is topped with a semi-circular arch. The wall above the portal is built partially of granite rocks, but just over the cornice that tops the nave is fully made of brick. In the front wall, above the entrance portal, there are two semi-circular windows, and in both side walls, there are single non-plastered blind windows in form corresponding to the windows. Above them, there are additional, narrow, single windows. In the highest storey of the tower, in the front and the rear wall, there are two windows similar in shape but located somewhat differently than the windows on the lower storey. The side walls have single windows covered with wooden blinds. The church tower is covered with pitched roof topped with a quadrilateral roof lantern with conical cupola finished with a metal sphere with a cross.
The façades of the side walls of the nave are divided with two large windows topped with semi-circular arches. In the walls of the presbytery, there are three windows of the same shape. Architectural ornaments that enrich the appearance of the façades are string courses running around the walls of the building at the height of parapets and the intrados of the windows, and the cornices girding the tower.
Originally, the church in Dobino was a branch church of the parish of St Nicholas in Wałcz. In 1923, it was separated from this parish as a local curacy; in 1932 it became an independent parish. Nowadays, it is a branch of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish church in Skrzatusz.

The suspension bridge
For many years, there has been a bridge connecting the Bukowina in Wałcz with the forest on the other side of Raduń Lake. The name of the bridge - the Kłosowski bridge, was taken from the name of that forest.  Before the bridge was built, You had had to go around Raduń Lake to get to the other side, or use a carrier with a boat. It happened that the carrier did not always hear the call when he was on the opposite shore ... In the winter of 1890-1891, after long preparations a bridge was built at the narrowest point of the lake. Residents and tourists were able to walk comfortably around the Bukowina and the Kłosowski Forest. While building a bridge, they did not foresee, however, that it would be an obstacle for ships - it was a wooden construction hanging rather low. A resident of Wałcz, who moved to Berlin, presented the town with two small steam ships in 1910.  The ships had quite high chimneys, so it was necessary to elevate the bridge in its central part, which gave it scenic beauty. That bridge was a favourite motif on the pre-war postcards and a venue of romantic meetings. There is even a legend about the bridge and unrequited love:
Well, over 100 years ago, on a beautiful spring day on the bridge was Julia, a very young resident of Wałcz, shielding from solar radiation with a lace umbrella. A few of her relatives - father, mother, a little brother were standing next to her. Then a boat with a fiercely rowing young man appeared on the lake. He looked at the group of people standing on the bridge and paddled away. But Julia looked at the boatman and fell in love with him right away with her first youthful love. From that day on, she took the family for frequent walks to Raduń Lake, she sometimes slipped out alone, hoping to see the object of their sighs again. Indeed, she succeeded a few times and these meetings fuelled her feelings. She dreamed of the moment when they finally get to know personally, imagined the next meeting, proposal, and finally marriage.
They exchanged salutations after some time. Although the young man looked interested in Julia, their knowledge never developed as the girl imagined. The athlete was not going to play the role of Romeo. His name was Uwe and he willingly chatted with Julia, was telling jokes, he even asked her and her brother on a boat ride. Julia was waiting for something more, though. One day Uwe said that he was going back home to Berlin for two months, but would return to continue training. Julie got sad, but hope appeared in her heart - maybe Uwe wanted to talk with his family about them? Maybe his parents would accept her and their acquaintance would finally turn into what she had dreamed about?
And Julia began to dream more boldly. She believed in the dreams to such an extent that she told her parents about them as if they were reality. She said Uwe went to talk with their parents about the wedding. She was a good match, her father was a wealthy merchant, so the future son-in-law could count on a good dowry. The family began to plan the wedding. Julia watched the models of wedding dresses, an in the end it was decided to make the purchase in Berlin in the most famous and most expensive company. When Julia was watching the dresses, another young lady - a beautiful slender blonde with green eyes, was buying a wedding dress. Those eyes stuck in Julia's memory, they were like water in Raduń Lake.
A return to Wałcz with a wedding dress was joyful. Julia was happy as a child, imagining herself as a bride and then - a happy wife. She planned a honeymoon - a romantic trip to Venice. Two months passed. The girl eagerly awaited the beloved, being completely sure of his marriage proposal. She stood on the Kłosowski bridge every day, waiting for the familiar boat. Finally, she saw him sailing. Her heart beat with joy, but suddenly she rubbed her eyes with a surprise - there a girl with Uwe in the boat! Uwe waved cheerfully at Julia and, after sailing close to her, exclaimed: - 'Welcome Miss Julia! I would like to introduce my wife Gertruda von Wenzlau!' And Julia saw a beautiful woman with green eyes - green like water in the lake! She nodded at her, but she was unable to stutter a single word from her tightened throat. She turned away and ran back home.  She cried for three days and three nights without telling the family what happened. And when she stopped crying, she pulled out the wedding dress from the wardrobe, put it on, and left the house. As if in a lunatic dream, she headed for the bridge. She stood on it for a while looking at the water, which reminded her about Gertrude's eyes. -'This colour is my death ...' - thought Julia, and jumped into the water.
For many years, a white figure in a wedding dress was allegedly seen on the Kłosowski bridge. Now, when there is a suspension bridge in its place, Julia's spirit appears on the shore of the lake, looking for an old wooden bridge to check from it if the beloved is approaching in his boat...
During the war, the bridge was destroyed, but after some time Polish soldiers built a new wooden bridge as community service, which was converted into a steel suspension bridge in 1978. The suspension bridge on Raduń Lake is now a popular tourist attraction in Wałcz.

The town hall
The town hall in Złocieniec is located at the market square and was built between 1833 and 1863 on the site of earlier structures performing the same function. The building, which You can see today, was built due to the efforts of Charles Lentz, the then mayor of the town. The building was originally the seat of the town council, the court and the registrar.  The building was rebuilt before World War 1, the result of which was the coat of arms of Złocieniec visible today on the front wall of the town hall. It depicts a white castle with two towers and the falcon above them on a blue background. Army authorities and Secret Political Police Station had their seats in the building after the war, but it was a temporary situation and the hall again became the seat of municipal authorities - the function it still performs.
The town hall is a building built on a rectangular plan, and has two storeys divided by cornices. It is covered by a hipped roof with a few skylights. Some bossages are visible at the corners.

Underwater hydroelectric power plant in Rościno
The Rościno hydroelectric power plant was built in 1935-1936 in Germany according to the design of the German engineer Arno Fischer, using the original idea of hiding the entire power plant under water, it operated until 1944, and after the war until the 1950s. It was the world's first underwater power plant . The power plant was not destroyed during the war and the hydrotechnical equipment was operational. In the hydrotechnical sense, the Rościno Power Plant was a threshold damming water in the riverbed. The damming weir with an overflow part, a bottom outlet and a run-of-the-river power plant were placed in the widened river bed. The power plant operates without any retention option.
In the years 1973-1975, the power plant was modernized by Zakłady Energetyczne in Koszalin. Two prototype flow turbines designed by prof. Krzyżanowski from the University of Gdańsk, and the generators were placed under the turbines using drive transmission via V-belts. The obtained energy production, as an average value over the last many years, is 1000 MWh per year.
Another modernization was completed in 2014: The dam was a significant obstacle for fish. It hindered migration, among others. salmon to spawning grounds located upstream. The hydrotechnical part of the power plant has been completely rebuilt, received completely new equipment and operates in maintenance-free mode. A new fish ladder was also created.
The historic turbine came to Karlino thanks to the courtesy of ENERGA Hydro Sp. z o. o. and can be seen in front of the Regional Center for Tourism and Sports in Karlino.
A few kilometers down the Parsęta, near the current Karlino bypass, in the forest you can find the unfinished structure of a sister underwater power plant. After the modernization of the power plant in Rościn, this is the only place where you can see this interesting structure.

Żuber Park
A municipal park, now called Żuber Park, was founded in the early eighteenth century at the foot of the castle of Złocieniec, and was called a castle garden until 1945. The park was originally privately owned by the family of von Griesheim and was unavailable for residents of Złocieniec. The park was full of wonderful and diverse vegetation. Apart from the indigenous species of trees and shrubs, there were a lot of exotic plants in it too. Big pots with wonderful specimens were placed along the alleys and paths. The pots with plants were transferred to the castle conservatory for the winter. The current name comes from the first post-war guardian of the park, who was Jan Żuber. The new name 'Żuber Park' was so strongly adopted among the locals that it is now the official name of the park. The main and most interesting part of the park is the Alley of Hornbeam, which is a natural monument, winding along the eastern side. The alley consists of 83 hornbeams amazingly shaped by the hands of gardeners. The tree crowns are intertwined with each other giving the impression of a green tunnel. In the central part of the park, there is a lot of valuable trees, including centuries-old natural monuments e.g. hornbeams, beeches, oaks, lindens, yews and chestnut trees. The park was renovated in 2009. Self-seeders were removed, new plantings were done, the alleys were renovated and information boards were put. Nature - teaching paths were marked out a year later. Currently, the park is a favourite resting place of the Złocieniec residents. Many tourists visit the place as well, and educational activities connected with nature and ecology are organised for the students of local schools.
