Puck, Coastal town in Gdańsk Pomerania, Poland
Puck is a port town on the Baltic Sea near Gdańsk, shaped by fishing activities and maritime traditions. Its narrow streets and old buildings reflect generations of life centered around the water.
The town became an important port from medieval times and received city rights in 1348. It later developed into a key naval center and played a strategic role in Poland's maritime history.
The Gothic Church of Saints Peter and Paul stands as a central religious monument, while the ethnographic museum presents local maritime and Kashubian traditions.
Buses connect the town to Gdańsk to the south, making it an easy day trip. Most sights are within walking distance, and the harbor area is accessible and easy to navigate.
In 1920, the town hosted a ceremonial 'Wedding to the Sea' celebration marking Poland's restored access to the Baltic after World War I. This symbolic event became a defining moment in the nation's modern history.
