Wolgast’s Historic City Wall – Remains of a Medieval Fortification
The Wolgast city wall is one of the remarkable historical landmarks of this city on the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Medieval City Layout and Historic City Tower in Wolgast
If you take the time to explore the Old Town on foot, you can still clearly trace the city’s medieval layout within the former fortifications. It’s particularly worthwhile to take a look at the remains of an old city tower, which are best viewed from Kronwiekstraße. These ruins serve as a reminder that Wolgast was once an important city in the southern Baltic Sea region—comparable to other historic cities in the area such as Stralsund, Greifswald, or Wismar.
Wolgast as a starting point for exploring the Baltic Sea region
Wolgast is strategically located between the mainland and the island of Usedom and serves as an excellent starting point for excursions along the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian Baltic Sea coast. In addition to the city wall, Wolgast offers other historical sights that make a visit worthwhile.
