Stralsund
Interesting
From its early beginnings, Stralsund has developed as a centre of maritime navigation and long-distance trade. Much coveted from the start, Stralsund suffered the assaults of its neighbours who vied with each other to acquire this strategically located port. Protected by a ring of ramparts, the town resisted the attacks of Wallenstein's troops during the Thirty Years War. Its rich heritage of Gothic brick buildings and medieval centre surrounded by water invite the visitor to journey back in time.
