Kühlungsborn is a seaside resort in the
Rostock district , in
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . It is situated on the Baltic Sea coast, 11 km northwest of
Bad Doberan , and 25 km northwest of
Rostock . The town has an elongate beach and promenade, many hotels in typical German
spa town architecture and a
marina . It is the largest seaside spa town in Mecklenburg.
Kühlungsborn has no tall buildings, because no house is allowed to be built higher than the tallest trees. After the reunification of Germany the historic centre of Kühlungsborn was thoroughly renovated and many historic buildings restored. However, in 1994, 26 historic buildings, examples of resort architecture, were demolished as part of this renovation, such as the Arendseer Kurhaus completed in 1906. There are many new hotels and apartments as well as renovated old hotels and guest houses. From 2002-2004 the new marina was built in East Kühlungsborn with 400 moorings. The resort’s pier was built in 1991 and the 3,200-metre-long beach promenade was completely renovated in 2007.
