Sławno, Medieval Hanseatic city in Western Pomerania, Poland

Sławno stands on the banks of the Wieprza River, functioning as a railway junction connecting the major Baltic coastal cities of Gdańsk and Szczecin.

The city gained prominence in 1317 when it received Lübeck law rights, establishing its position as a significant trading center in the Pomeranian region.

The Gothic architecture of St Mary's Church and the preserved medieval gates reflect the strong influence of the Knights of St John in this region.

The European route E28 crosses through Sławno, providing direct road connections to major Polish cities and international destinations.

The territory of Sławno formed an independent duchy from 1190 to 1238, marking a period of autonomous governance in Pomeranian history.
