Słupsk

Cultural highlights include Zamek Książąt Pomorskich, Młyn Zamkowy and Biały Spichlerz. Park Kultury i Wypoczynku has extensive green spaces, a kayak landing, cycle paths and playgrounds. The Słupia winds through the park. For longer cycling trips, the 86-kilometre USBS cycle route connects Ustka, Słupsk and Bytów. The Way of St. James also passes through Słupsk.

Zamek Książąt Pomorskich was the former residence of the Gryfit dynasty. Duke Bogusław X had it built in the early 16th century; 1507 is considered its year of construction. Młyn Zamkowy offers a view of a much older building: it was built in the left-bank part of Słupsk around 1310 and is one of the oldest industrial architecture buildings in Poland. If you are interested in different aspects of architectural and urban history, you can plan a visit to these two places as separate activities during your stay.

Biały Spichlerz houses the world’s largest collection of works by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, known as Witkacy. It also hosts the permanent exhibition “Słupsk. Miasto i ludzie”, with exhibits on the city’s history after 1945. Baszta Czarownic is currently home to the Bałtycka Galeria Sztuki Współczesnej. The former Dominican church, Kościół św. Jacka, adds to the city’s historic sites.

Park Kultury i Wypoczynku is Słupsk’s largest park and recreation complex. Its green spaces, playgrounds, cycle paths and kayak landing cater to different interests, so you don’t have to limit your stay to a single activity. If you are travelling with children, you can consider the playgrounds as one possible activity; if you prefer to stay active, the park has cycle paths and a kayak landing.

The Słupia flows through the park. Together with the Młyński Canal, its main course forms Wyspa Spichrzów. The river, canal and park are among the city’s defining landscape features.

The USBS cycle route is 86 kilometres long and connects Ustka, Słupsk and Bytów. Its total length provides a reference point for planning your route, but in itself says nothing about the length of any one day’s section. The section of the Way of St. James that runs through Słupsk is part of the Droga Pomorska and the pilgrimage route network leading to Santiago de Compostela. In the city, the route is marked with a yellow shell on a blue background; the symbols are placed on buildings, signs and posts.

Murals are also part of the cityscape: Słupsk currently has around 40, and their number keeps changing. Alongside the museums and historic buildings, you can discover other visible works in public spaces during a visit to the city.
