Wolgast

Few towns in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have a history as closely tied to the Duchy of Pomerania as Wolgast. Set on the Peenestrom, the town faces the island of Usedom, with bridges and harbour routes connecting the mainland to this Baltic island. Wolgast was a residence of the Pomeranian dukes from the late Middle Ages until the 17th century. Although their castle has not survived, St Peter’s Church retains the ducal link through the crypt of the Greifen dynasty. Brick Gothic buildings and the historic market square lend the centre a distinctly north German character. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Wolgast and Usedom.
