Szczecinek, Medieval city in Zachodniopomorskie, Poland

The city extends across 48 square kilometers around Lake Trzesiecko, featuring numerous parks, Gothic architecture, and a historical train station at its center point.

The settlement started as a Slavic stronghold in the 10th century before receiving official town rights from Duke Wartislaw IV of Pomerania in 1310.

The Regional Museum, established in 1914, preserves local artifacts and documents the transformation from German Neustettin to present-day Szczecinek after World War II.

The railway junction connects major routes between Poznań and Kołobrzeg, making it a central transportation hub for the Middle Pomerania region.

The city produces krówka szczecinecka, a traditional candy officially protected by Poland's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
