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. Andrzeja Boboli

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.

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.

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 Kayak Center in Białogard

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 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.

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.
