A short trip to the sea is an excellent opportunity for moments of relaxation and relaxation, pleasant walks along the water's edge, swimming in the Baltic Sea and exploring the charms of coastal towns. Holidays by the sea are also a great time for sightseeing. During your visit to Mielno, it is worth looking for traces of the past, which can still be seen in the architecture and landscape of the city. Below is a quick guide to some of them.
- Church of the Transfiguration
This is the oldest monument in Mielno, dating back to the 15th century. In addition to its sacred function, it also had defensive significance, indicating its placement on a small hill. Within its walls can be noted built-in millstones, symbolizing the “Eucharistic mill”, as well as historic 20th-century stained glass windows funded by Maria von Schmeling.
- Former Dairy at Kościelna Street and Bar Mewa
The dairy building can be recognized by the images of cows on it. Milk was delivered from here not only to residents of nearby villages, but also to Koszalin.
The Mewa Bar is a former Restaurant Bahnhof, where residents of Mielno and tourists met. It was a cult place both before the war and in the times of the Polish People's Republic. During their holidays in Mielno, Sławomir Kowalewski and Krzysztof Krawczyk invited guitarists Jerzy Krzemiński and Bogdan Borkowski to collaborate, and this is how the band Troubadurzy was formed.
- Train station
In the vicinity of the Przesiadkowy Center in Mielno there is a building marked with the inscription “Mielno Koszalin”, which once welcomed visitors to this resort. Its history is connected with the development of railway communication in the area. In 1904, a company was established to build a railway line from Koszalin to Kołobrzeg, which had a branch to Mielno. This line opened in 1905, but soon for economic reasons the courses were suspended. It was only in 1911 that public transport to Mielno was restarted, and in 1913 tram services from Koszalin to Mielno and Unieście started. Koszalin Tram Railway operated until 1938. The railway line was opened again in the times of the People's Republic of Poland. In 1994, trains on this route were liquidated, but since 2008 they run again, during the summer season, to provide residents and tourists with convenient transport between Mielno and Koszalin.
- Lake Jamno
It is an important element of the Mielno landscape, whose history is related to water communication. Before the war, thanks to ships plying the lake, residents and tourists were able to travel between the surrounding villages. Nowadays, you can taste local cuisine near the fishing marina in the Unieście district, while Lake Jamno encourages recreational water activities.
- Cultural Center in Mielno
The history of this building dates back to 1902, when Max Malitzky built it and named Villa Margareta in honor of his wife, Margarethe Malitzky, née Riechers. As a result of the Great Depression around 1923, Malitzky was forced to sell the villa. At the end of the 1940s, the Workers' Holidays Fund was established, which enabled employees from all over Poland to rest by the sea or in the mountains. One of the FWP buildings in Mielno became the former Villa Margareta, part of the FWP Perła complex, which could accommodate 88 people in 8 buildings. Currently, it houses the Cultural Center, which organizes many interesting events in the city.
