Siege of Wolin

The siege of Wolin, Wollin in Swedish sources: occurred from 21–27 August 1659 during the Second Northern War, as part of the Allied offensive into Swedish Pomerania. On 20 August, the Austrians landed on Wolin island, capturing two sconces at the mouth of the Dievenow, moving towards the city of Wolin soon after. They initially assaulted the city on 21 August, but were repelled. After receiving reinforcements, they launched a new, successful attack against the city.
