General information:
In the early Middle Ages Lubin was a fishing settlement and a
stronghold stood here. In1124 Christian Mission of St. Otto came
and the first church was founded. In the end of the 18th century
the 10th century Arabic coins were excavated here.
Lubin is a small town with population about 800 situated on the high
east bank of Wicko Wielkie Lake. The place is principally concerned
with cement production where (in the nearest Wapnica settlement) is
a large factory, at chalkpits in the neighbourhood. The harbour
serves fishing boats and yachts. There are concrete wharves and 5t
crane of lifting capacity. In the summer there is a passenger ferry
service connecting Lubin with Szczecin and Świnoujście.
