Gryfice, Historical Hanseatic city in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The city center contains medieval defense structures with two preserved gates and fragments of the original thirteenth-century fortification walls along the Rega River.

Founded in 1262 under Lübeck law, Gryfice joined the Hanseatic League in 1365, gaining navigation rights that supported its growth through maritime trade.

The Gothic St. Mary's Church, constructed in the late thirteenth century, features a fifteenth-century tower crowned with a Baroque architectural dome.

The narrow-gauge railway museum operates seasonal steam train rides from May through September, connecting visitors to neighboring Baltic coastal destinations.

The town underwent a name change from Greifenberg to Gryfice following World War II, marking a transition from German to Polish administration.
