Before the resort
Long before Sopot became an elegant bathing place, an early medieval stronghold stood here. The archaeological open-air museum brings that history to light — with a reconstructed rampart and wooden buildings showing the everyday life of the people who lived here.
What you can see
- The reconstructed rampart and buildings — a picture of an early medieval settlement
