'''Pāvilosta''' ({{audio|Lv-Pāvilosta.ogg|pronunciation}}; {{lang-de|Paulshafen}}) is a [[town]] in [[Latvia]].

== History ==
The territory of modern Pāvilosta has been inhabited since the [[Stone Age]]. During the late [[Iron Age]] and the [[Livonian crusade]] the territory was inhabited by [[Curonians]] and was part of the [[Piemare]] land. In 1253 in an agreement between [[Bishop of Courland]] and [[Livonian Order]] a port at the mouth of Saka river is mentioned for the first time. In the later years small port named Sackenhausen was part of the [[Bishopric of Courland]], [[Duchy of Courland and Semigallia]] and since 1795 [[Russian Empire]].

In 1879 local landlord from nearby [[Upesmuiža manor]] Otto Friedrich von Lilienfeld started extensive reconstruction works of the small port. The new port town was named Paulshafen, after baron's brother General governor of the [[Courland Governorate]] [[Paul von Lilienfeld]]. However, development of the town was not as quick as von Lilienfeld has planned. Many construction plots were available for rent but during ten years only ten buildings were built. The port was used only by several fishermen and three small sailboats owned by nearby [[Manorialism|manor]]s.

The real development of the town started in 1893 when construction of the Liepāja military port ([[Karosta]]) started. Pāvilosta became the main hub for transporting stone to the [[Liepāja]]. The port was adjusted for stone shipment and many builders, workers and sailors came to the town. When stone shipments stopped, the town already had a good port and shipping infrastructure. Until First World War there were three [[shipyard]]s in the town where small one mast ships were built. However several bigger two-mast [[schooner]]s for international voyages also were built in the town. Overall 15 ships were built in the Pāvilosta. In 1913 Pāvilosta received limited town rights.

During the [[First World War]] Pāvilosta was occupied by the [[German Imperial Army]] and saw heavy destruction. Almost all of the Pāvilosta fleet was destroyed, sold or confiscated. After the war, only two motorboats and four sailors were left in port. In the [[Republic of Latvia]] the port shifted its focus from merchant ships to [[fishery]]. In 1930 a fishermen cooperative was established in the town. In 1939 a [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] church was consecrated in the town.

After the [[Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940]] all fishermen were forced to unite into an [[artel]]. During battles in the [[Courland Pocket]] several fishermen families fled from the [[Soviet re-occupation of Latvia in 1944]] with motorboats to [[Gotland]], only 150 kilometres to the west. After the war, Pāvilosta became a port town in the [[Latvian SSR]]. Local fishermen artel used motor boats until 1949 when the first fishing ship was bought. In 1951 the artel was transformed into fishermen [[kolkhoz]] ''Dzintarjūra'' (Amber sea). In 1975 the kolkhoz was merged with Liepāja fishermen kolkhoz ''Boļševiks'' (The Bolshevik). In the 1970s there were around 20 [[fishing trawler]]s in Pāvilosta port.

After 1991 Pāvilosta again became part of the Republic of Latvia. It was granted town rights in 1991. In 1994 stock company ''Pāvilosta'' was established who today owns two fishing trawlers. Today port is used mainly by local fishermen boats and tourist [[yachts]]. There is also sailing, [[surfing]] and [[windsurfing]] school in the town who owns several yachts.

Pāvilosta has an [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfb'') closely bordering on a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dfb'').
