St. Andrew's Day by the Sea 2025

Facilities for children:

• free of charge: bottle warmers, bathtubs, toilet seat adapters, and potties

1. Leonardia: There are about one hundred games in the park. There are both single-player and multiplayer games. Simple rules mean that even the youngest will have no trouble mastering them, and the competition and outdoor activity bring back spending time with family and friends, away from the virtual world. You won't find plastic or mass-produced molds here. Each game was designed and handcrafted as a unique piece.

2. Retractable Bridge: The drawbridge has been replaced by a retractable bridge. This is the only retractable bridge in Poland, so it's worth taking a moment of your holiday time to see it.

3. Lighthouse: The lighthouse tower is 22 meters high, with a modern mechanism at its top that guides ships. The lighthouse was built in the 19th century along with the pilots' station building. The tower was much lower then, and only subsequent renovations turned it into a full-fledged lighthouse. Currently, tourists can admire the state from 1927, when the last renovation of the building took place.

4. Media and Art Festival: So far, the festival in Darłowo has hosted: Anna Seniuk, Wojciech Pszoniak, Krystyna Janda, Krzysztof Kowalewski, Danuta Stenka, Stanisław Tym, Robert Więckiewicz, Marian Dziędziel, Jan Nowicki, Marian Opania, Michał Ogórek, Marcin Meller, Prof. Jerzy Bralczyk, and others. For tourists, it's a great opportunity, as it is a unique chance to approach famous people from cinema and television, talk to them, and take souvenir photos.

5. Military Gathering: Enthusiasts and owners of various military-related equipment gather for the event, such as motorcycles, trucks, transporters, amphibians, and even tanks. The gathering takes place in East Darłówko on the so-called frying pan (on the eastern edge of the town, near the beach). Entry to the gathering is free for visitors, but additional attractions (e.g., rides) are paid. The gathering is an international event. It is one of the largest such events in Poland.

6. Market Square, Fisherman's Monument: The monument in the Market Square was erected in honor of seafarers in 1919. It is a fountain designed by Wilhelm Gross and funded by the Heptenmacher family. The town hall is located in the city center, on the western side of the square. The town hall now features late Baroque and classical forms. It is built on an elongated rectangular plan. Partially basemented, one-story, covered with an asymmetric four-sloped mansard roof.

7. Castle: The originally Gothic castle was subsequently expanded by its owners. The first castle was based on a square plan with a 23-meter-high defensive tower. Subsequent owners expanded it to the east and west, adding wings that served not only defensive functions but also increased the living space of the growing ducal court.
