The Free City of Danzig, the former Gdańsk was a creation from the former German province of West Prussia. The city was ironically, after the German defeat in First World War, more German in a Polish state with a minority of Kashubian language along the Baltic Sea. The city was a place of the mass exodus of the Polish and Jews during the reign of the German Empire, and as well as that of the Germans after the Allied Powers won before the Germans invaded it again during the Second World War and expelled again during the Soviet occupation. This movement of people could capture what the city is today, a bustling industrial port, shipping building area and important Polish access commerce route along the Baltic Sea.

Both cities were captured by the German and under influence the Soviet Union. It was incorporated with the city of Gdynia before being getting a city status. The beautiful resort hotels in the city port is direct contrast to the humble beginnings of small Slavic settlement. Like the other cities in Pomerelia, Sopot reflects a part of European history that is worth remembering. This led me to visit this Polish city on the Baltic coast. 1.      Kościół garnizonowy pw. św.
