Barlinek, Medieval town in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

The municipality extends across 17.55 square kilometers of rolling terrain, encompassing Barlineckie Lake and sections of dense forest in northwestern Poland.

The settlement, initially named Nova Berlyn, received its founding charter in 1278 from the Margraviate of Brandenburg and developed as a fortified medieval center.

The town organizes the annual Chess Festival in honor of Emanuel Lasker, who held the World Chess Champion title for 27 years.

Visitors can access multiple lakes for fishing, walking paths through the Barlinecka Forest, and traditional Polish restaurants within the historic center.

The Barlinek Forest produces specific varieties of honey, including acacia, maple, and rapeseed, which have received official protection status.
