The museum in Wolin presents the entire fascinating history of Wolin, illustrated by numerous exhibits found in the Wolin region. The collections are presented in several rooms. The first room houses the main exhibition called “Śladami wczesnośredniowiecznego Wolina - Winety – Jomsborga” [The traces of mediaeval Wolin – Wineta – Jomsborg]. It shows the history and material culture of Wolin from the establishment of the settlement at the turn of the 6th and 7th centuries till its fall in the 12th century. The exhibition includes a mode of the town from the period of its greatest splendour, the remnants of town fortifications, a defensive system of the town, as well as objects of worship and ways of burial. Among the valuable items presented on the exhibition is a wooden, four-faced figure of Świętowit, a solar compass – the only complete compass of this type in Europe – a model of harbour, a fragment of a palisade, or a grave of a convict. In the second room, we can get familiarized with the economy of the inhabitants of Wolin.

The Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas
The first mentions of the Gothic church in Wolin date back to the year 1288. The temple underwent multiple reconstructions. During World War II, it was nearly completely destroyed, but eventually rebuilt.
Parish Church of St. Nicholas the Bishop is in Wolin, at Kościelna. The Dziwna River flows about 300 meters from the temple.
Wolin was the first bishop's seat to be established because of a Christianization mission. The episcopal seat was approved in 1124. In 1160 it was moved to Kamień Pomorski. The medieval temple, as the only one of the three, has remained in Wolin to this day. The first mentions of it come from 1288. Unfortunately, it is not possible to say exactly what the temple looked like originally. After another reconstruction in the 14th century, it is only known that the building was three-nave, on a square plan, with a western tower. It is also known that in the 15th century the pseudo-basilica was rebuilt once again after a construction disaster. In the 19th century, the church was rebuilt, it survived the wars and has remained in Wolin to this day.
However, during the war, two historic churches of St. George and St. Nicholas were badly damaged. The city was 70% ruined. The communist authorities demolished the church of St. George, while the church of St. Nicholas was left. Only on May 31, 1988, the churches were transferred to church authorities. It was then that construction and conservation plans and activities began. The church was put into use in 1999. In the presbytery there is a high crucifix, a figure of the Risen Jesus, a tabernacle surrounded by ears of grain and a vine. There are Stations of the Cross on walls.

This is a special facility for the site, as it hosts cultural events such as harvest festivals, Harvest Festival, outdoor film screenings and much more. Surrounding the stage is a large clearing with manicured grass and few trees, which is ideal for picnics or exhibitions.
An interesting object in the park is the statue of Třebov (Triglav), a deity of the Elbe Slavs and Pomeranians. He was depicted as a figure with three heads, on a black horse. His attribute was a holy oak. According to historians, he was created after the three tribes united by combining the equivalent of the three deities they believed in.
In the close vicinity are the Hill of Hangers and the barrow cemetery. These are closely associated with the history of the area and are very popular with tourists.
