General information:
Wolin is one of the oldest Slavonic towns, ancient Legendary Wineta of Jamsborg (a military base of the Vikings), situated on the south eastern edge of Wolin Island, on the Dziwna River. The population of the town is about 4000. Wolin was one of the most flourishing towns in early Medieval Europe. It was described in the chronicle of the most illustrious merchant and traveller of his times, Ibrahim ibn Jakub. In its day Wolin walls had as many as 12 gates. Port could harbour 300 vessels and traded with England, Spain, Byzantium and the Ruthenian Nowogrod. In Wolin have excavated 10th century Persian coins and Egyptian beads.
In 967 Polish Ruler Mieszko I incorporated Wolin into Poland and the town be-came the most important trade centre on the Baltic coast. In the 11th century it was destroyed by the Danes' invasion. In 1140 the Polish Bishopric was established there. In 1278 Wolin was granted its municipal charter. In the 14th century it became a member of the Hanseatic League. In 1630 Wolin was occupied by the Swedes. Since 1720 it belonged to Prussia. During the Second World War the town was 70% destroyed. It was liberated in the beginning of May 1945.
Some of the interesting places, are the tenement houses from the 18th - 19th century, neo-Gothic townhall from 1813, ruins of St Nicholas' church from the 15th century and an old Slavonic burial ground from the 9th - 11th century.
At present Wolin stands on the west bank of the Dziwna River and has a fishing harbour and wharves of passenger traffic and yachts.
A road lift bridge, which opens and the railway swing bridge north of it connects the town with the east bank. Between the bridges is a grain elevator and in the town is a sawmill. In 1975, another railway bridge was constructed north of the existing bridge.
The railway swing bridge, which has an opening 12.5m in width, is closed before the departure of a train, and opened after it has passed. Vessels passing the bridge must use the opening on the right of the direction of travel.
The fishing harbour after reconstruction extends to the west bank of the Dziwna River, south of the road bridge. The harbour has good fishing infrastructure, facilities and 133m of quage space is available for fishing boats and barges. The quay 58m in lenght offering space for yachts visiting the port.
