Amfiteatr im. Ignacego Jana Paderewskiego
The Ignacy Jan Paderewski Amphitheatre in Koszalin is one of the largest of its kind in Poland. It was built on a spectacular scale in the years 1973-75. The immediate impetus for the idea of ​​building the amphitheatre was a great success of Polish Choirs Festival, which have taken place in Koszalin since 1970. The auditorium with a stage and backstage was designed by the architects from Koszalin: Marian Czerner and Andrzej Katzer. The bold and beautiful coping of the whole building is a huge, arched roof built by prof. Jan Filipkowski on the occasion of the State Central Harvest Festival.
The amphitheatre is used in the summer as an entertainment and cultural centre. The auditorium is roofed and can accommodate 4,500 spectators. In the summer months, there are many musical concerts organised in the amphitheatre. Since 1994, a major event has been the Summer Cabaret Festival taking place annually in July, hosted by the Koń Polski cabaret from Koszalin; and current favourites of the audience tend to be among the guests. Moreover, the Koszalin Philharmonic Orchestra organises their performances and concerts on the stage of the amphitheatre during the summer season. Films are screened at the Summer Cinema after dark, and entry is usually free of charge.
In addition, since its construction, the amphitheatre has been the place where concerts of World Festival of Polish Choirs are held.

Brama Wysoka (Połczyńska) [The High (Połczyn) Gate]
The gate was built along with defensive walls in the 14th century. The building is built of brick on a stone foundation, on a rectangular plan, with a lanceted passage arch. The gate has two storeys and is topped with a hip and ridge roof. The building is one of two gates that were built in those times. The second was Brama Młyńska [the Mill Gate], presently non-existent. It is interesting that each façade of the gate received different architectural solution. The gate is 10.3 m high. Its present appearance is a result of many reconstructions. Until the end of the 19th century, the gate served the functions of town prison and jailer’s house. Since 1924, it has been used by the Regional Museum. It is interesting that in the arch vault of the gate passage one can see a built-in metal stirrup. A legend has it that it is a stirrup of the commander of a unit from Świdwin seized by the inhabitants of Białogard in a so-called “cow battle”, which took place in 1469 between the inhabitants of Białogard and nearby Świdwin. Presently, the gate houses an Art Gallery, where numerous exhibitions of local artists and painting and drawing workshops for children and teenagers are organized. The gallery has two floors. On the ground floor, there is an office space, and on the first and second floors there is an exhibition space. Unfortunately, the building is not adapted for the needs of the disabled.

Dawny budynek przemysłowy

Domek Kata [the Executioner’s House]
Domek Kata on 3 Grodzka Street is a Gothic burgher’s house erected in the 15th century on a trapezium plan, which was motivated by a curved line of the town walls in that place, most probably using a fragment of a former tower. The preserved front façade, exposed under the plaster bewitches with its Gothic architecture – with a lanceted entrance and blind windows on the ground floor, a corner buttress, and pilaster strips reaching the middle of the first floor. Nowadays, the building is a seat of the Teatr Propozycji “Dialog” Association, promoting contemporary one-person plays. It is also a place of recitation shows and other cultural events. In the past, the house was inhabited by an executioner, hired to work full-time since 1464, when the town council bought out the right of judging and sentencing from the bishop. Minor demeanours were punishable by lashing, pillory, or being shackled in the stocks. Serious crimes were punished with death inflicted in various manners. People who murdered their parents were packed into a sack and drowned, witches were burnt at the stake, people guilty of other crimes were hanged and beheaded. Executions took place in two places – depending on the birth of a convict – on the Hangmen’s Hill on Dąbrowskiego Street (behind an open-air heritage park), where gallows were located, or temporarily on the Old Town market square for those of noble birth. The profession of an executioner remained in a family and was handed down from a father to his son. The last execution was carried out in 1893, but the executioner’s family still lived in the house in the interwar period. In the Middle Ages, executions were also a show for the masses, and the executioner were received decent remuneration for his work. In a peculiar price list of executioner’s services, much could have been earned for beheading or burning a convict – as many as 10 florins. A half of this amount was for tortures, including a breaking wheel torture, and for burial of suicides (a prejudice did not allow people to touch the corpse). An ordinary pillory punishment, lashing, or putting somebody in the stocks cost the municipal treasury 9 shillings. A peculiar punishment awaited women guilty of slander. They had to stand in front of a church during an entire service with a heavy sack of rocks. This was reportedly a moderately effective remedy for gossip.

Kościół filialny pw. Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa

Kościół parafialny pw. Narodzenia Najświętszej Maryi Panny

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.

Koszalin City Office - City Hall
City Hall - the seat of the municipal authorities, built in 1960-62. It is the sixth town hall in the history of the city. The Old Town Square was designated with the location of the city in the 13th century. In the middle of the square, from the 13th to the beginning of the 18th century, other town halls were located. One of them burned down during the great fire of the city in 1718. In 1720, the town hall was built on the southern frontage of the market, near the cathedral. After a century it was demolished, and another building was erected in its place between 1827 and 1830, which was modernized in 1877.The last pre-war city hall existed until March 1945, burned down during the capture of the city.

Society of Koszalin Narrow Gauge Railway
Koszalin, 4 Kolejowa St. Station of the Koszalin Narrow Gauge Railway, the beginning of the route of the historic railroad, launched in 1898. The Koszalin Narrow Gauge Railway is the only surviving railroad of its kind in the Koszalin region, its route once covered 120 km and connected numerous towns in the region. The historic narrow-gauge railway station in Koszalin is open to the public, where there is a museum chamber. Here you can also purchase original memorabilia related to the railroad or obtain information. An attraction of the Koszalin narrow-gauge railway is its historic rolling stock: 100-year-old wagons and the more than 70-year-old Px 48 steam locomotive, the only one in working order in Poland on a 1000mm-wide track. The steam locomotive runs trains on a 20-kilometer-long charming route to the well-known resort town of Rosnowo. Cyclists transport their vehicles for free in a special narrow-gauge carriage. They can also use the stops located on the route to Rosnowo. Rosnowo is an excellent base for further excursions: for example, in the Manowo municipality, around Rosnowskie Lake, visit the area of the historic hydroelectric power plant, or go in the direction of the Bead Ponds located in the Tychowo municipality.

St. Gertrude's Chapel
The chapel was built in Koszalin in 1383 outside the city walls. Originally, it served as a hospital chapel, and then - the cemetery. I was converted into the ammunition depot of the local garrison (changing the roof, walled window openings, dismantling the tower) in 1735. Religious functions of the chapel were restored at the beginning of the twentieth century, it was renovated and its earlier appearance was recreated. It served as a warehouse after World War II. It also housed Mała Scena Bałtyckiego Teatru Dramatycznego [the Small Stage of the Baltic Drama Theatre]. A bookstore, among other things, was there for some time. The chapel was handed over to the Lutheran Parish Church of Jesus the Good Shepherd in Koszalin and still functions as a sacred place. Approx. 70 people can be accommodated during the services said in Polish and German. A parish choir also functions in a church.
The monument, located near the theatre, is marked by the influence of Scandinavian architecture. The small octagonal building is covered with a dome in the shape of an even-armed star. Lancet triple windows and two Gothic portals occupy a significant portion of the walls of the chapel. Its top is decorated with relief frieze of the motif of the motif of the quatrefoil. Small one-dimensional brick interior of the chapel with a diameter of 8 m and a width of 6 m is canopied with a plaster stellar vault.
It was entered in the register of monuments on 24th August 1956. No: A-775.

The Christ the King church
The church in Pomianowo is a Roman Catholic branch church belonging to the parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Białogórzyno. It comes from the 18th century (some sources claim that the church was already built in 1512). It is a half-timbered building without a tower. The church was rebuilt in 1889, and then renovated in 1934. The church has a tiled gable roof; windows are finished triangularly. The church is an aisleless building with no separated presbytery, finished straight. The interesting elements of the church’s furnishings include a baroque altar from the 17th/18th century with a retable, a relief of “The Last Supper” on the predella, an internal gallery for pipe organ from the mid-18th century, a statue of Christ from the late 18th century, a baptismal font made of Neolithic quern-stones, and a reed organ from about 1861. The church is surrounded by a wooden fence based on a low stone wall. There are steps leading to the church, which limits the accessibility of the building for the disabled.
Masses’ schedule: Sun: 11.45 am; working days: Thu: 4 pm (summer 5 pm).

The Defensive Walls
The walls were built most likely in the first half of the 14th century. They were built from Gothic brick in Wendish bond and fundaments made of field stones. The wall is 100 cm wide at its base and its average height amounts to 8 m. It used to be reinforced with 25 half-shell towers (open from the inside) placed every 23 metres. The initial appearance of the defensive walls can be seen on the Lubinus’s Map from 1618, shown in the City Hall of Białogard. The defensive walls circled the town and used to be the protection against potential aggressors. The town could be entered through two gates: Brama Wysoka [the High Gate] preserved up to this day (from Połczyn, Grottgera Street) and already non-existent Brama Młyńska [Mill Gate] (at the confluence of Staromiejska and Młynarska Street). It was also possible to get into the town through small gates located in five places of the walls (Furta Wodna [the Water Gate], Furta Księża [the Priest’s Gate], Furta Srebrna [the Silver Gate], Furta Zamkowa [The Castle Gate], and Furta Ogrodowa [the Garden Gate]). Nowadays, one can see just the fragments of the defensive walls. According to tradition, the walls were demolished in connection with two epidemics of cholera that hit the town in 1853 and 1856. The cause of the plagues was identified with pestilential air closed in the dense urban arrangement within the walls. The Mill Gate was pulled down in 1794. Up to the present day only the High Gate has survived, which appearance from the gable side differs from the initial one. There also exist partially restored doors of the office on Siemiradzkiego Street. By the doors, there are so-called “witches’ stairs”, whose name – according to a legend – derives from a tower that used to be located there, in which women accused of sorcery awaited their trial. In the years 1994-1995, the most fragments of the existing walls were restored on the initiative of the Provincial Historic Preservation Officer.

The Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God Orthodox church
The Orthodox church (a former castle chapel) has been entered into the register of historic monuments in November 1956 under the number A-768.
It is the Gothic castle church from the turn of the 13th and the 14th centuries – currently an Orthodox church. The church was built about 1300 as a convent church for Cistercian nuns who came to Koszalin in 1278. The oldest mention about the church comes from 1491.
It is a brick, aisleless church built on a rectangular plan. A porch was added later on the western side of the building. The presbytery has not been preserved. The building is topped by a pitched roof with an octagonal tower and a steeple. The nave is illuminated by lanceted windows. The most interesting, eastern façade of the building still has a Gothic rood arch and an ornamental brick parapet of the rood screen. After the Reformation, when the nuns abandoned the church, it fell in disrepair. It was rebuilt by Duke Franciszek in the years 1602-1609, and it functioned as a castle church. During the fire of the town in 1718, the building burnt down. The major refurbishment was conducted in the years 1818-1819. In 1863, the church was given a pipe organ. After the Second World War, the convent church was transformed into an Orthodox church.
The Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church is one of the independent canonical Orthodox Churches. Within its jurisdiction are all Orthodox parishes in Poland. The present church diptych gathers 15 Churches independent of any foreign authority, and three partially dependent Churches.

The Main Post Office
It is the most beautiful neo-Gothic building in Koszalin. Various sources frequently describe its historic architecture as eclectic, which is quite right, because the façade contains not only neo-Gothic elements. However, red brick used as a building material, specially profiled for numerous details, three stepped gables at the top of the front façade, and traceries in arched window lintels on the third floor definitely indicate the neo-Gothic style. The building was built in the years 1884–1908 on the initiative of Bergmann, the then director of the Head Management of the Post Office in Koszalin. The layout of the entire Wolności Square along with its surroundings was already made in 1836, while the seat of the post office and a roadhouse for stagecoaches were built in 1858. Carrying letters and parcel by stagecoaches was superseded by railway with its new connections that were opened at that time. The first train came in Koszalin from Stargard Szczeciński on June 1st, 1859. The last horse-drawn stagecoach line was closed in 1911.

The prototype of the Koszalin museum was the exhibition of the German Tourism and Protection of the Country Association opened in 1912 in the city hall. A professional museum in Koszalin was founded two years later. On the basis of its collections, the present museum in Koszalin was founded in 1947. The institution has had its head office in Pałac Młynarza [the Miller's Palace] since 1991.
The collections in Koszalin are presented at permanent and temporary exhibitions within the following sections: ethnography, history of the city, numismatics and contemporary art.
Current permanent exhibitions include: 'Koszalin - from the Middle Ages to the Present', 'The Prehistory of Pomerania', 'Coins and Medals', 'The Cultural Island", 'The Pomeranian Forge', 'Osieki 1963-1981', 'The Cobbler's Workshop', 'The Old Arts and Crafts - from Baroque to Art Nouveau'.
In addition, the Ethnographic Section organises the Jamno Fair at the museum courtyard. It takes place four times a year: three times in summer and once in December, just before Christmas. The Fair is accompanied, among others, by performances of folk bands. The museum participates in the May Night of Museums, and in June it organises children's folklore review 'A pre-schooler I am, or fun with dance, music and song".

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish church
The church comes from the first half of the 14th century. Due to numerous fires that affected the church, there is almost nothing left from its original furnishings. This is the reason why many elements of the building come from other churches, including a baroque altar from the pulled down St Peter church and the epitaph of Faustus Knigge from the destroyed cathedral of Kołobrzeg. Probably the only original elements in the church are three Gothic statues located in the arcades of the nave. The current state of the church results from many works and renovations carried out in different periods. It is a three-nave Gothic church. The presbytery, nave, and aisles have a stellar vault. On the western side of the church, there is a leaning tower topped with a baroque cupola.
The historic furnishings of the church include the high altar, a side altar, baroque pipe organ and baptismal font, Gothic statues from the 15th-16th centuries, and three brazen chandeliers from the 18th century. The baroque high altar was made about 1700. It was most likely founded by the nobility. It consists of three-level retable placed in a secondary rectangular altar stone. The first level consists of four columns and two figures of patron saints. It is divided from the second level by a cornice. The centre of attention of the second level is the scene of “The Crucifixion”. The third level consists of the scene of “The Lamentation of Christ”. The altar is topped with a statue of Christ the Resurrected. The historic baroque side altar is located in the northern aisle. The side altar is more modest, but as beautiful and interesting as the high altar. The raised pulpit is located on the left side of the high altar. It dates back to 1688 and was founded by the Batzen family. The pulpit was repeatedly rebuilt at the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries. There is a historic baptismal font in the church’s porch. A pipe organ was made in 1775 by an organ builder Marr of Berlin, and then completely rebuilt in 1912. Most Masses in the church are celebrated with the accompaniment of the pipe organ. The building has very good acoustics and the pipe organ plays in tune, so frequent organ concerts become a tradition. In the church, there are also interesting stained glass windows from the early 20th century. The most interesting – for instance, depicting Luther – are located in the sacristy. The walls of the church are covered with beautiful noteworthy paintings.
An interesting fact is that four largest bells, out of five that was originally located in the church tower, were removed in 1917 and melted down as ammunition during the Great War. Currently, there are three steel bells in the tower – all of them come from 1922. The Sisters of the Most Holy Soul of Christ work in the parish. The church is located very nicely within the old town. The building can be accessed by the disabled through a side entrance.

The Old Town
The Old Town (the market square), currently Wolności Square, used to be the centre of life as in every other town. The houses of the old town in Białogard are well preserved and are one of the most valuable town buildings. They have not avoided many renovations and reconstruction due to numerous fires that destroyed the town. The southern frontage of the market square has unfortunately not survived; in its place, a residential house was built in the 1960s. It is a modern building that unfortunately does not render the character of the place and significantly standing out from the other houses in terms of aesthetics. Apart from the town hall, the most interesting buildings are situated in the corners of the market – burghers’ houses in at the confluence of Kopernika and Rycerska Streets with a steeple and dormer windows in a mansard roof. Finally, the most imposing house is the building located on 11 Wolności Square, representing an eclectic style, entered into the register of historic monuments. In this place, attention should be paid to two beautiful sculptures located in the niches between the windows of the first floor in the front façade. The rumour has it that they were made by Boguslav Utech, grandfather of the most famous pre-war local artist - Joachim Utech. The fate of the house continued to develop with its ups and downs; it changed its tenants; for many years it housed the PKO BP bank; currently, it is the seat of the authorities of the district of Białogard. On the main square of the Old Town – Wolności Square – stands a glass display cabinet in which the founded archaeological site can be seen.

The Old Town Hall
The building of the Old Town Hall is a classic merchant’s house. It is not known much about its original appearance, because the building was consumed by fire in 1506. It was most likely built in the 14th century and was situated in the very centre of the market square. A rebuilt town hall was also destroyed by fire in 1677, and the next one was erected as a two-storey building with a wooden tower with and a bell cast by Ernst Kritewitt of Kołobrzeg. For years the town hall was falling into disrepair – it was closed in 1845 and pulled down in 1847. Then there was a need for establishing a representative seat of the town authorities in a place adequate to the office. It is why a burgher’s house was purchased in this purpose and added an oaken tower with a clock. From 1847, a town hall was located in the building. In 1867, the town authorities bought a building adjacent to the town hall and arranged its first floor as a flat for the then mayor and its ground floor as seats of court office and bailiff’s office. In the basement of the town hall accommodation places were arranged – in the early 20th century these were used as a town hall’s beer house. The basement can be entranced by a beautiful portal embellished with plant motifs. The Old Town Hall used to be the seat of the town authorities until 1924. In the years 1926-1952, the building was a seat of the Regional Museum. After the museum had been closed, the building was used for purposes of public housing, until 1998. In 2004, the town authorities carried out the revitalization of the part of the Old Town, including the Old Town Hall. Currently, the Old Town Hall houses the Registry Office with the Wedding Palace and The Regional Tradition Chamber. In the former, there are organized occasional exhibitions of works of art and other events. The town hall is adapted for the disabled; there is a lift providing access from a courtyard.

The Pomeranian Dukes Park
The origins of the Pomeranian Dukes Park can be traced back to the reign of Prince Bogusław X. A castle garden surrounding the pond was created then, right at the foot of the rampart. The park was built in stages; it was built, repaired and other parts were added for over 400 years.
Stara Promenada [The Old Promenade] is considered to be the oldest part of the park. Its construction started in 1602 and was completed in 1817, and this date is officially considered to be the beginning of the park. The name of Stara Promenada functioned until the 1950s when the park was officially named Przyjaźni Polsko-Radzieckiej Park. When after 1989 the name ceased to function, it was called simply the municipal park.
The park is divided into two parts - "A" - the northern part of the green belt with Stara Promenada, and part "B" - the ​​southern area, attached to the original park in later years.
Part "A" is an area of about the size of 6.7 ha, which was built in two stages: 1602-1817 and 1933-1934, when works to develop the land were finished for good.
A large part of the park i made up of well-kept lawns with flowerbeds, mainly rose ones. Trees do not grow in large groups, they occur in isolation or as rows along the alleys. These are usually very old specimens that have been declared natural monuments. The old sycamore draws the most attention, it is the remains of the castle garden. It is commonly called 'the witches' tree'. Its age is estimated at more than 300 years, and the circumference is up to 500 cm. Beeches, birches, oaks, alders and willows are equally noteworthy. Their falling leaves give incredible charm to the shores of the river. Besides native trees, the park has a whole range of exotic trees such as ginkgo biloba, London plane, Sawara cypress, magnolia shrub, Amur cork tree, American tulip tree and others. There is also a very large variety of the species of shrubs. In total, over 120 species of plants grow in the park.
Thanks to these natural conditions, the park is home to many animals, mostly birds. It is worth mentioning that the park became a refuge for water birds because of its pond and the river flowing nearby. In 1934 an island, which was given the name of 'Swan Island,' was created on the pond. Every year a couple of swans rear their offspring there.
That pond is the main spot in the park (with an area of 1.5 hectares) and much of the infrastructure is located around it. The main alleys lead to its shores, along which benches are placed. There two bridges over the river, and three sculptures nearby. There are two fountains in the park. The first of them, a prewar - like, has been highlighted. The lights are switched on every day from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
A part of the park "B" used to be called Janka Sawicka Park. It is smaller than the "A" one because it covers an area of 3.5 hectares. There are over 90 tree and shrub species in the area. A great deal of them such as Babylon willow and eastern black walnut are monumental specimens. Its composition resembles part "A" - clearings cut by wooded alleys dominate there.
The entire park complex is surrounded by numerous institutions and public utility facilities. You can find there service and catering facilities like coffee shops, restaurants, the post office and the police station. There are also two theatres in close proximity: Teatr Propozycji Dialog named after Henryka Rodkiewicz and the Baltic Dramatic Theatre named after Juliusz Słowacki. Part "A" borders in the north the equally noteworthy Tadeusz Kościuszko Park, and part "B" - the KS Bałtyk stadium.
The park is very well maintained, renovations are constantly carried out. Due to its central location and proximity to numerous historic buildings and utility facilities, it is the most visited park by locals and tourists in whole Koszalin.
