Where styles meet
In Western Pomerania there are some 30 museums and exposition rooms, displaying remarkable objects from the past. To this day numerous strongholds have survived, which are the oldest manifestations of human activity in the region.
The most interesting sites of this type are to
be found in Cedynia and Radacz, while on the island of Wolin ancient kurgans have been uncovered. The surviving fragments of city walls and urban layouts in Gryfino, Chojna and Mieszkowice take us back in time to the Middle Ages. Equally deeply rooted in history are castles in Szczecin, Białogard, Stare Drawsko (formerly Drahim), and Świdwin. Former monastery complexes of Templars, Cistercians and Knights of St John of Jerusalem testify to the mingling of influences in the borderland. Lovers of old architecture will be pleased to find Romanesque edifices (such as fragments of the cathedral at Kamień Pomorski, or the cloister in Kołbacz), Gothic (e.g. the cathedrals in Szczecin, Koszalin and Kołobrzeg), Renaissance castles (Szczecin,
Tuczno, Szczecinek), as well as baroque manor houses (such as at Świerzno). The development in the 19th century of Międzyzdroje, Kołobrzeg, Połczyn Zdrój and Kamień Pomorski as health resorts has promoted the emergence of magnificent sanatoria and spa-complexes.
