Wejherowo, Administrative center in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The capital of Wejherowo County lies 36 kilometers northwest of Gdańsk, surrounded by lakes and hills near the Baltic Sea coast.

Jakub Wejher founded the settlement in 1643, which received city rights in 1650 and became a notable private town under Chełm law.

The Museum of Kashubian and Pomeranian Writing and Music, located in Przebendowski Palace, preserves regional literature and musical traditions.

The city connects to major transportation networks through its railway station, providing direct access to Gdańsk, Gdynia, and other coastal cities.

The Wejherowo Calvary, established as the third oldest Passion sanctuary in Poland, comprises 26 chapels across forested hills.
