Brzeźno Pier, Pier in Brzeźno, Gdańsk, Poland

Brzeźno Pier is a wooden and concrete walkway that extends about 136 meters into the Baltic Sea with plenty of space for visitors to stroll comfortably. The pier features benches for sitting, railings for safety, and is surrounded by cafes and small shops just steps away.

The first pier in Brzeźno, extending from ul. Zdrojowa, was built in 1900 and measured 100 metres. In the interwar years it was expanded to 250 metres long and 6 metres wide. The present pier, built between 1993 and 1996 and opened on 19 July 1996, stands about a kilometre north-west of the original and is 136 metres long and 7.2 metres wide.

The pier is the endpoint of aleja Jana Pawła II, whose promenade continues as the wooden deck; the earlier pier was an extension of ulica Zdrojowa. Its opening on 19 July 1996 gave Brzeźno a new focal point, and the deck is used for walks, fishing and watching the Baltic. The name Brzeźno refers to birches.

The pier is reached from the Brzeźno seafront promenade, which continues as aleja Jana Pawła II; the wooden deck is 136 m long and 7.2 m wide, with railings along both sides. It stands about a kilometre north-west of the site of the first pier, so follow the promenade rather than the old ulica Zdrojowa line. Renovation work in 2021 and 2022 renewed parts of the decking.

The first pier here, a 100-metre wooden structure extending ulica Zdrojowa, opened in 1900; between the wars it reached 250 metres. The present pier stands about a kilometre north-west of that site and, with its promenade, continues aleja Jana Pawła II. Plans exist to lengthen it by a further 126 metres.
