Gołdap, Border town in northeastern Poland

The Gołdapa River flows through the center of Gołdap, with Szeskie Hills and Gołdap Lake creating natural boundaries around the municipality.

Caspar von Nostitz established Gołdap in 1570, initiating systematic settlement in the region during a period of intense development near the Prussian-Lithuanian border.

The municipal coat of arms incorporates elements from the House of Hohenzollern, Brandenburg, and the monogram of Polish King Sigismund II Augustus.

The town maintains several food production facilities and a paper mill, while offering winter sports activities at the Piękna Góra ski resort.

Gołdap belongs to the Cittaslow network, promoting measured development while preserving connections with Greek and German partner cities.
