General information:
Kamień Pomorski is one of the oldest towns in Western Pomerania
situated on south-east shore of Kamieński Lagoon. From the 9th to
the 11th century it was a Slavonic settlement and stronghold stood
there. In the 12th century it was the capital of Western Pomeranian
Duchy and since 1176 - the seat of the Bishopric. In 1274 Kamień
Pomorski was granted its municipal charter, since the 14th century
it was a charter member of Hanseatic League. Since 1679 it was under
the Brandenburg and Prussia rule. At the end of the 19th century
Kamień Pomorski was a fishing-trading centre. In 1945 the town came
back to Poland. Since 1959 Kamień Pomorski has been a health resort,
known for its saline baths and sanatoria. The town with a po-pulation
of about 9000 is known for the yearly festival of organ and camer
music. Festivals, in which the finest Polish and foreign musicians
take part, are held in the cathedral. The cathedral at Kamień Pomorski
is one of the most precious buildings of historical interest in Western
Pomerania. The original Romanesque building was erected in the 12th
and 13th centuries. It was altered to the Gothic style in the mid-15th
century. The most valuable features at the richly furnished interior
are the early Gothic sculptures, the polychrome frescoes, the baptismal
front, the late Gothic main altar, and a splendid organ.
At present the town has a small fishing port. The harbour comprises
of 2 small basins and a 60m long pier with a minimum depth of 2.3m
alongside. It is used as a passenger terminal. The port is unsheltered
and loading is done in calm weather. There is yacht harbour and
recreation passenger ferry during summer time. Some grain reloading
take place there. The harbour mainly serves local fishing boats
operating in the Lagoon.
