Niechorze

In the beginning, Niechorze was a typical fishing village. Its development began only in the 19th century, and the real boom took place in 1870. In the decay of the 19th century there were 700 tourists registered in Niechorze, and on 1 July 1896 a narrow-gauge railway connecting Niechorze with Gryfice was opened there. Seventeen years later the line was extended to Trzebiatów and Pogorzelica and the next narrow-gauge railway station was built. It was oryginally composed of two villages: Small Niechorze and Big Niechorze.

Located at the edge of a steep cliff, with a height of 20 metres. Its base is a 13 metre high square-shaped building, on both sides of the tower. The light glare from the lighthouse can be seen 36 km away due to the 100W light bulb which is enhaced by 20 prismal crystals. It is the most beautiful lighthouse on the Polish Seaside. From the terrace you have an enjoyable and beautiful view at Niechorze, Rewal, Liwia Łuża and the seaside with its endless sea. The best look on the lighthouse is from the inland, and it is visible from several kilometers with its light in the night. At the entrance theres also an 60 year old garden with an 2 m high hedge and steep stairs leading toward the beach. The whole complex has been recognized as a National Culture Monument and recorded in a list of Szczecin District vintage buildings under No. A-1350 due to its unique structure, functions, preservation of original mass, layout and details referring to medieval architecture and preservation of nearby buildings with a garden.
