Wejherowo
Built around a settlement founded by Jakub Wejher in 1643, Wejherowo grew into the present-day seat of Wejherowo County and an important centre of Kashubia in northern Poland. The Reda River crosses the town, whose compact centre combines historic townhouses, churches and civic architecture. Its most distinctive sacred site is Wejherowo Calvary, begun by Wejher in the 17th century and comprising 26 chapels set among wooded hills. A long-standing pilgrimage destination, the Calvary gives Wejherowo a particular place in the religious traditions of Kashubia, a region with its own language and identity.

The Reda River defines the setting of Wejherowo — flowing through this northern Polish town, it gives the centre a green, waterside character. Founded in 1643 by voivode Jakub Wejher, Wejherowo became an important centre of Kashubian life in Pomerania. Its 17th-century Calvary, a complex of chapels arranged across wooded hills, remains a major pilgrimage site and is closely linked to local religious traditions. The town’s market square and Church of the Holy Trinity add to its historic core, while nearby forests connect it with the broader Kashubian landscape.

Pomeranian Voivodeship has served as an administrative region within Poland since 1999. Stretching from the Baltic coast to the wooded Kashubian Lake District, it brings together Poland’s maritime north and an inland country of lakes and forests. The Vistula reaches the sea near Gdańsk, while the coast includes the shifting dunes of Słowiński National Park. Gdańsk, a historic Baltic port and member of the Hanseatic League, anchors the Tri-City urban area with Sopot and Gdynia. Kashubian language and traditions remain an important part of the region’s identity, particularly west of Gdańsk.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
