Sopot, Poland
Sopot is a small Polish town situated on the Baltic Sea coast between
Gdańsk and Gdynia. The Germans, who were the majority of Sopot’s
community in the first half of the last century, used the name Zoppot. The
town survived the war without any major damage, although during the
fighting in March 1945 Sopot lost the Spa House, the casino building and
beautiful hotels along the main walk.

We originally asked for help with identifying this building, and must  thank both
Darek Lipka and JJ from Finland who, within a few days of each other, told us
that it is the Balneological Sanatorium which was built in 1903/4 and is still in
operation today.
