General information:
Sztutowo is a fishing village situated about 1.5 miles from the coast
of Gulf of Gdansk near the mouths of Szarpawa River and Royal Vistula.
Waters of these rivers were famous of sturgeon abundance in the Middle
Ages. The village was built around an inn established in 1432. In
1716 tsar Peter the Great stopped here. In the 17th century a fishing
and farming village developed next to the manor. After 1920 Sztutowo
was a part of the Free City of Gdansk, with a customs house. Sztutowo
was a site of the Nazi concentration camp Stutthof during the Second
World War with gas chambers and a crematorium. Approximately 85,000
people from 13 different countries perished here, mostly Poles and
Russians. A museum is open on the site.
A mobile life-saving station, equipped with line-throwing apparatus
and radio telephone is based at Sztutowo. |
