Stargard

The landscape around Stargard is a lowland setting along the Ina River, which has shaped both the town’s layout and local economy. In West Pomerania, the city preserves an extensive circuit of medieval brick fortifications, with surviving walls, towers and gates recalling its role as a trading centre. The Basilica of St Mary, a major work of Brick Gothic, dominates the historic core. Stargard belonged to the Hanseatic League, and its old town still conveys the mercantile ambitions of the late Middle Ages despite wartime destruction and later reconstruction.
