Introduction to Ustka

Ustka is a fishing and commercial port situated along widened and expanded part of Słupia river, 18 km from the town of Słupsk. The population is 7,468.

Through the 17th - 19th century the importance of Ustka and Słupsk decreased. The Thirty-Year War had a great has influence on the crisis. There was almost no shipping traffic in the port. Only 20-40 ships by year entered Ustka. They delivered salt, wine, iron, herrings and exported shipbuilding and architectural wood also firewood.

The begin of 20th century saw a rapid growth in Ustka. The port has mostly serviced sailing vessel cabotaged Baltic trade.

Ustka is known as a seaside and a natural therapy resort. There are medical mud, sulphur and other mineral baths. At present, the town city has preserved many examples of 19th century domestic architecture, including elegant villas constructed of bricks, guest houses and hotels open for tourist throughout the year.
