Koszalin is the largest city of Middle Pomerania in north-western Poland located about 2 km south of the Baltic sea on the Slovincian Coast. Koszalin is also a county-status city and capital of Koszalin County of West Pomeranian Voivodeship since 1999. Previously, it was a capital of Koszalin Voivodeship from 1950 to 1998.

Koszalin dates back to the 10th century when it was incorporated in the State of Mieszko I and from 1243 it was under the ownership of the Kamien Bishopric who granted the settlement municipal rights. In the 15th century the town was a member of the Hanseatic League and from 1574 until 1622 it was the Bishop's residence.

South-east of the city is Chełmska Hill, 137 metres in height, (German: Gollenberg), a site of pagan worship in times past, and upon which is now built the tower “sanctuary of the covenant”, which was consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1991, and is currently a place of pilgrimage as well as a Tv mast.

Koszalin's most distinctive landmark is St. Mary's cathedral (Marienkirche), dating from the early 14th century. Positioned in front of the cathedral is a monument commemorating John Paul II's visit to the city.

To-day Koszalin is a centre for machine, electronic and food industries and is an important rail and road junction. The Higher School of Engineering and the Baltic School of Humanities are located in the city.
