The longest wooden pier in Europe



History

The Sopot Pier, also known as the Sopot Molo, is a historic wooden pier located in the seaside resort town of Sopot, Poland. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in the area and holds significant historical and cultural importance.

The construction of the Sopot Pier began in 1827 when Sopot was a part of Prussia. Initially, it was built as a simple jetty, extending just 31 meters into the Baltic Sea. Over the years, the pier underwent several expansions and renovations, becoming longer and more elaborate.

In 1928, the pier was significantly extended to reach a length of approximately 511 meters, making it one of the longest wooden piers in Europe. At its end, a pavilion was constructed, providing visitors with a panoramic view of the sea and the beautiful coastal surroundings.
