How to get to Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo
By car
Self-service parking on the premises of the Museum is available all year round and is unguarded. There is a fee for using the parking lot.
Public transport
You can reach the museum by bus no. 870 from Gdańsk.
Service frequency is limited, so we recommend double checking the departure time of the last bus. It may not be possible to return by public transport after the last bus has departed. In such a situation, Uber does not reach Sztutowo
Taxi
When using a taxi, it is worth making sure the driver waits. Ordering a taxi to Sztutowo may be difficult or impossible. Uber can deliver passengers from Gdańsk, but ordering it in Sztutowo will not be possible.
Touring
What you will see at the Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo
Commander's Office Building
Documentary films are shown in the headquarters building.
During the summer season, screenings take place every half an hour and last from 20 to 30 minutes. The repertoire includes the films: “Stutthof a Few Days Later” and “The Gallows Stutthof”.
Barracks
The exhibition in the camp barracks shows the tragic history of the prisoners. The canteen barracks displays the remains of footwear and documentary photos of footwear from 1945. In the BUNKRY administration barracks you can see the camp’s punishment system. In barracks 8 and 8a, the history of the Free City of Gdańsk, Nazi policy, the origins of KL Stutthof, the structure of the authorities and the fate of Jews in the camp are presented. The Women’s Bloc presents the transport and plundering of prisoners’ property, their living conditions and illegal resistance activities.
Crematorium and gas chamber
In the Stutthof concentration camp, in the summer of 1942, the first crematorium furnace was installed on the eastern side of the Old Camp, which was later replaced by two new furnaces. There was a gas chamber next to them. Additionally, in December 1944, a field crematorium in the form of a deep pit was established in the forest on the northern side of the new kitchen. These installations were key elements of the extermination process carried out in the camp.

Robert S28 August 2026Every such place, if possible, must be visited. The question is why? I need to reflect on what people—though I question here what they can do to others in the name of what, ideologists of territorial claims, or simply seeking slave labor. And how easily it comes to them. And literally a few years later, it's common knowledge that they've already come to terms with their past, worked through it. Again, the question is how? May we never want to repeat this ourselves. Reflection, contemplation, and shock after witnessing the testimony of what happened.

James Z25 August 2026It was a priceless experience. "Only" 85,000 mostly political prisoners were executed or starved to death here. That many people were killed every week at Auschwitz. But seeing the gas chamber, crematorium and railroad tracks and cattle cars screamed the message "Don't allow this to happen again". Pay attention to politicians promising free stuff they plan on taking from someone else. It never ends well.Posted on Google
Leszek N24 August 2026A typical German fascist concentration camp with well-preserved barracks, a guardhouse, and a section used for mass extermination. We have well-preserved furnaces for burning corpses and a gas chamber for murdering people with Zyklon B gas. The main building houses a small cinema with themed films, and guided tours are available periodically. Parking is 15 PLN per day, and admission to the museum is free. I recommend visiting this place where over 65,000 people were murdered to see what people can do to each other with a smile.

Rafał K10 August 2026It's worth visiting because of the weight of this place's history. Paid parking is available, but the price is reasonable for the duration of the visit. The visitor center is very spacious and modern. Tours are free. I have a few comments, going further. The camp grounds are well-maintained, but compared to Majdanek or Auschwitz, there's not much preserved infrastructure. However, it should make up for this with elements of the permanent exhibition. Here, I noticed that part of the exhibition is worn by time; some information elements were duplicated, and graphics were attached in one place with electrical tape. Some information, including witness accounts, is displayed on mesh canvas. In darker areas, the graphics and text are less legible up close. I think that introducing at least a minimal fee—for example, a maximum of 15-20 PLN per person for a regular ticket, 10 PLN for a concession, and free for up to six years—would allow for the exhibition to be renewed and visually enhanced. A good example is the World War II museum, which uses vertical glass panels with LED lighting, descriptions, and photos. This form of presentation would not obscure important elements of the interior and would give it a modern look. Additionally, I missed a video presentation in the form of screens featuring witness accounts or documentaries on a loop. Another thing is the camp commandant's villa. The villa is located right at the entrance to the camp, and from what you can see, it's unused and owned by the Sztutowo Commune. The question is why the camp isn't owned? Participation and the opportunity to tour (if appropriately furnished to reflect the style of the commandant's family's home) would provide a perfect contrast between the horrific conditions in the camp and the idyllic, everyday life of the commandant's family, literally separated by a fence and garden. This demonstrates the scale of brutality and the displacement of these people. The height of hypocrisy is also the camp staff's declaration that they are Roman Catholics. In short, I hope this opinion will be taken into account in the museum's development.

Much of the exhibition is bilingual, in Polish and English, so it's understandable even for those who don't speak Polish. Worth a visit, and don't forget to visit the World War II Museum in Gdańsk.

Przemysław P27 July 2026You can't rate a place like this with mere stars. Five stars aren't for the attraction, but for the memory, respect, and the immense work put into preserving the truth. Stutthof isn't a place you simply visit. It's a place you experience. You enter through the gate, gaze at the barracks, the watchtower, the remains of buildings, the crematorium, and prisoner documents, and with each step, you say less and less. At a certain point, words simply aren't enough. Everything that concerned you just an hour before suddenly seems small and unimportant. What remains is silence, a heaviness in your chest, and the thought that people walked this same earth, stripped of their freedom, dignity, names, families, and often even their lives. The most moving thing isn't the numbers, unimaginable though they are, but the awareness that behind each one stood a specific person. Someone had a mother, a father, children, a loved one, dreams, and plans for the next day. Someone still believed in the morning that they would return home. Someone looked at their loved ones one last time, unaware that they would never see them again. Looking at the crematorium furnaces and the wall of documents, it's hard to hold back tears. There, history ceases to be a chapter in a textbook. It becomes something terrifyingly real. This place also shows what hatred, propaganda, and indifference can lead to. Crime doesn't begin with the gas chambers and crematoria. It begins much earlier—with dividing people into better and worse, with stripping them of their humanity, with words that render others insensitive. That's why places like this must exist. Not to reopen wounds, but to ensure that we never allow history to repeat itself. You leave here different from how you entered. You speak more quietly, you look longer at those around you, and you appreciate more ordinary life: the ability to return home, to call a loved one, to call a warm meal, your own bed, and the freedom that seems so obvious in everyday life. Here, you understand that it never was. Everyone should visit Stutthof at least once. Not as a tourist, but as a human being. To see, remember, and pass on the truth about those whose voices were taken away. As long as we remember them, they have not disappeared without a trace. Honor their memory.

Dar A17 July 2026I recommend that every Pole visit this museum. The entrance fee is 3 hours/15 PLN in the parking lot. The ATM accepts various payment methods. Recently, an entrance hall was built, with a free cinema and free restrooms, where a 10-minute film is shown telling the history of the inhabitants of the Free City of Gdańsk and the subsequent adventures of its Polish inhabitants, deported to the Stutthof concentration camp. I won't describe the types of props on display in the museum, as I don't want to anticipate the depressing experience.

museum description
Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo
The Stutthof Museum in Sztutowo, located on the Vistula Spit between Stegna and Sztutowo, documents the history of the German concentration camp operating from September 2, 1939 to May 9, 1945. During these years, the camp expanded from the initial 0.5 ha to 120 ha, and through its 110,000 prisoners passed through the gates, of whom 65,000 died.
The exhibition at the Stutthof Museum presents the development of the camp, from the construction of the Old Camp with 10 barracks by prisoners in 1940, to the establishment of the New Camp and arms plants in 1942-1943. The exhibition includes preserved buildings of the Old Camp, including: wooden barracks, a brick gas chamber, a crematorium, as well as fragments of the original barbed wire fence and guard towers.
The museum shows not only the infrastructure of the camp, but also the everyday life of prisoners, their work, living conditions and the forms of repression they had to endure. In the south-eastern part there was the camp management and other key administrative buildings. The camp area is divided into four main parts, differing in functions and layout, which is presented in detail in museum exhibitions.
In addition, the camp area and its surroundings are protected under the 1999 Act as a Holocaust monument, which emphasizes its historical importance. The Stutthof Museum is open daily, allowing visitors to reflect on the tragic events of World War II and their impact on today’s generations.
