Royal Gate
Completed in 1728, the gate was an element of city fortifications built by the Prussians. Previously occupied by an art gallery, the gate now serves as a coffee house.
The Royal Gate is one of the two city gates that have survived to our times from the extensive line of fortifications in Szczecin. The building was erected in the years 1725-1728 according to the design of the Dutch architect Gerhard van Wallrawe. The Royal Gate - previously known as the "Anklamer Tor" - was erected on the site of the former Mill Gate. This name was in force until 1840, from 1841 the gate is called the Royal Gate in honor of its founder, King Frederick William I.
As in the case of Brama Portowa, the walls of the buildings are decorated with sculptures by Bartholome Damarat. On the gate we will find, among others Mars with sword and shield and Hercules with club and lion skin. Above the passage there is a panoply with a shield and a Prussian eagle, the whole is surrounded by a chain of the Order of the Black Eagle, and at the top there is a crown. The King's Gate is decorated with carved elements of weapons, armor, shields and banners.
During the Second World War, for fear of damage, the decorations were dismantled, hidden in the forest, and the building was planted with ivy. Thanks to this, the object was not damaged. The decorations hidden in the Arkona Forest were found in 1957 and reinstalled on the gate.
In 1994, the facility was modernized, in the 1990s the building housed an art gallery, and since 2000, the Gateway Jazz Cafe has been operating at the gate.
The building was entered on the provincial list of monuments in June 1954

A boy with a harmony
The fountain was built in 1927. It was made by the sculptor Hermann Hosaeus from Berlin. Sudeten sandstone was used for it. The fountain consists of a decorative bowl in the form of a shell on which a large catfish is placed. There is a hole in its mouth for the escaping water. Above the fountain you can see the figure of a naked boy holding a harmony in his hand. One of his legs is significantly extended in relation to the other. On the left-hand plinth, there is an inscription commemorating the author. The monument has been reconstructed twice.

Arkonka Beach
Located in Arkoński Forest Park, Arkonka is a brand new swimming complex in Szczecin with over 8 thousand square meters of swimming pools. Parking lot for around 200 cars available.
The bathing area in the location of Arkonka was established at the beginning of the 20th century. Some time ago there was only a lake on the coast of which there was a water mill. The swimming pool complex was reconstructed recently and it was opened in 2014. Since then it is the most modern bathing area in Szczecin. The modernization was conducted using the European Regional Development Fund. Currently it constitutes of four swimming pools 40-180 cm deep. There are also three water slides, foot massage points, geysers, toys shooting water, fountain ejecting water to a height of 15 m, as well as an artificial river which is 59 m long. Around the pools there are tennis and badminton courts, volleyball courts and an artificial beach. There is also a skate park which functions from spring to autumn, and in winter it is replaced by an ice-skating rink. The whole area is fenced and its surface area is 7 ha, while the total surface area of the swimming pools is 8012 m2. There are also 100 bike racks next to the cashiers.

Cmentarz komunalny w Policach-Jasienicy
Cmentarz w Policach – Jasienicy obejmujący aktualnie obszar ok. 2,6 hektarów powstał w 2 poł. XIX wieku. Tak, jak wszystkie cmentarze przedwojenne na tych ziemiach był to cmentarz ewangelicki.  Po II wojnie światowej wraz z nadejściem polskiej administracji zaczęto grzebać tu Polaków, a nagrobki niemieckie były po prostu likwidowane. Pozostałości po niemieckich mogiłach, które przetrwały jeszcze do czasów współczesnych zostały przewiezione  do lapidarium polickiego w Parku Staromiejskim w roku 2002. Jedynym nagrobkiem upamiętniającym obecność ludności niemieckiej w Jasienicy jest otoczona żeliwnym płotkiem mogiła Marianne Zitzke i jej rodziców: Karolusa i Adelhaid Fredrichów. Cmentarz porośnięty jest drzewami  i inną roślinnością. Przy wejściu na jego teren tuż za bramą widać duży drewniany krzyż. W kilku miejscach rozmieszczone są punkty czerpania wody i duże pojemniki na śmieci różnego rodzaju. W obrębie cmentarza, na uboczu stoi plenerowe WC. Wszelkie informacje nt. funkcjonowania cmentarzy komunalnych w Gminie Police można znaleźć na stronie internetowej Zakładu Gospodarki Komunalnej i Mieszkaniowej w Policach, w zakładce Cmentarz: www.zgkim.police.pl/html/cmentarz.htm.

Fiery birds
The monument is a tourist attraction not only for those who come to visit Szczecin, but also for those who like to walk along Park Kasprowicza. The outdoor monument, located in the vicinity of Teatr Leni [The Summer Theatre], is made of chains, sections and steel plates, which together form the shape of birds, which are painted into many, different colours. The work was created by Władysław Hasior. Initially, the artist created a design which was about to decorate the surrounding of the Castle of Dukes of Pomerania. However, the destination of this work of art had to be altered, due to the construction of Trasa Zamkowa [Castle Route]. In 1980, the Birds were moved to Plac Zgody [Concordia Square], but it had to be removed from there as well, because there were plans to build a tenement in that location. These days, the monument is situated in a proper and safe place. Visitors can admire it while looking at the impressive panorama of Rusałka Lake.

Former Mariackie Middle School
In the 18th century at the initiative of the King of Prussia Frederick William I a decision was made to reconstruct the school so that it had a neoclassical style. In 1805 the school was connected with the municipal middle school and Mariackie Royal Middle School was created.
Over the centuries, the building was reconstructed many times. When the Mariacki church was liquidated in 1830 a decision was made to build a new school building. It was designed by Scabell, and the construction works were completed in 1832. Two years later the town council funded organs for the school, and around the school chestnuts and maples were planted. The school library had approx. 30 thousand books and it was the best supplied library in the Pomerania Province.
Because the school was not big enough, they decided to build a new building, and when it was completed in 1869 at Mariacka Street a four-grade initial school was created, and then it was transformed into private apartments. Today there is the 9th Secondary School in the building.
Next to the school building there are remains after the Mariacki church – two spans of the cloister which connected the church with the houses of the professors.
There is a bronze board on the wall of the school with the following content: “On the 18th of May 1944 Polish soldiers of the 2nd Corps conquered Monte Cassino in the Battle of the Nations fighting for Rome. On the 40th anniversary of the battle to honour the victors the school received the following name: IX Liceum Ogólnokształcące Bohaterów Monte Cassino in Szczecin (The 9th Secondary School named after the Heroes of Monte Cassino). 18 May 1989.”
The building was included on the list of monuments of the province in January 1985.

Griffin Monument
The Griffin Monument was erected in 1972. Its designer is Leonia Chmielnik, who collaborated with Anna Paszkiewicz on the implementation. Artists from Szczecin jointly created a sculpture in the courtyard of the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle, from where it was later moved to the renovated town hall. The Griffin is supported on its hind legs while lifting the chest and front legs. On the pedestal, there is the inscription: THE SOCIETY OF SZCZECIN'S FRIENDS ON THE XXVIII ANNIVERSARY OF LIBERATION. The total height of the monument with the base is 445 cm.

Grunwald Square
Square is the largest square in Szczecin. It was designed on a circular plan with starry avenues and streets. The square was built at the end of the 1880s on the site of Fort Wilhelm, which was demolished in 1884. The author of the square concept was James Hobrecht. It was established in the 1860s and assumed the development of Szczecin in the north-west direction. Due to the fact that the areas of the planned investment belonged to the military, the construction was completed with a delay. Before this happened, Mayor Burscher and councilor Kruhl introduced changes to the project.
They took full advantage of the projects for the reconstruction of Paris by Georges Haussmann. The resemblance to Parisian squares led to the belief that Haussmann personally designed Grunwaldzki Square. Originally, the square was called Kościelny, and later Kaiser Wilhelm. The current name was given on July 15, 1945, on the 535th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald.
According to the project, the center of the square was occupied by a round green, and the traffic of trams and cars took place in a paved circle. The traffic organization was redesigned in the 1920s. Since then, the tram line ran through the center of the square. After 1945, it was returned to the original layout, and since the 1970s trams run again through the center of the square.
From eight sides to the square there is the alley of Pope John Paul II, alley Józefa Piłsudzkiego, Generała Ludomiła Rayskiego Street and Śląska Street. The square was surrounded by representative eclectic tenement houses. In 1944, some of them were destroyed during an Allied air raid. In their place in the sixties, multi-story blocks were built. The remaining tenement houses, which also suffered in 1944, have been carefully restored.
The square is planted with preserved old trees, among which there are specimens of budleja and yew shrubs. The infrastructure installed in the nineties, especially lamps, tries to resemble that of the thirties.

Helena Majdaniec Summer Theater
Located in Kasprowicz Park, it is one of the largest amphitheaters in Poland. Aside from theatrical performances, it also hosts various concerts, festivals, and live comedy shows.
Helena Majdaniec Summer Theatre is one of the largest amphitheatres in Poland. It stands in the Kasprowicz Park by the lake with a charming name – Rusałka. The natural slope ensures excellent acoustics and the green surroundings make for a pleasant atmosphere.
The present Summer Theatre was built at the place of a post-German performance stage. Originally, it was surrounded by a fountain cascade. Today, there are flowers in place of water. In the immediate vicinity there are works of art whose purpose is to complete the amphitheatre scenery. They include ‘Ogniste ptaki’ [Fire birds] construction by Władysław Hasior, popular among children, ‘Tańcząca para’ [Dancing couple] by Ryszard Chachulski and a mosaic by Piotr Wieczorek.
The amphitheatre of Szczecin is worth visiting when you are taking a stroll down the Kasprowicz Park alleys. At the amphitheatre you can sit down, find some rest and enjoy the beauty of nature. But most of all, the facility is one of the largest and the most popular stages in Szczecin. It is a site of multiple cultural events. The spectators can laugh during comedy sketches or shed a tear during an opera work. A number of Polish and international music stars performed at the amphitheatre, including Kult, Budka Suflera, Drupi, Omega and many others.
The Summer Theatre is an obligatory spot on the tourist map of Szczecin. It is a place of entertainment, rest and fun. It can also serve as an excellent starting point of a trip around the Kasprowicz Park and neighbouring woods.

Jan Kasprowicz Park
Created in 1900 and sprawling across around 50 hectares, the park is home to over 200 tree and shrub species, and also a part of a complex neighboring the Wkrzańska Forest.
The complex is located on the slope of the Niemierzyńska Valley and is a part of a green complex connected with the nearby Wkrzańska Primeval Forest. The park is located between Słowackiego, Skargi, Zaleskiego and Wyspiańskiego Streets and covers an area of approx. 50 ha.
The present Park of Jana Kasprowicza was established in 1900 as "Quistorp Park" in honor of Johannes Quistorp, a philanthropist and entrepreneur from Szczecin, who donated the neighboring areas to the city - Jasne Błonia Square and the Arkona Forest.
Quistorp was the owner of the Portland cement factory and the construction company "Westend", he initiated the creation of a new district, the so-called Neu-West-End. At the end of the 19th century, this entrepreneur developed an urban layout in which he took into account the existence of a large green complex that would be integrated into the villa district. Quistorp consistently implemented its plan by creating a unique green belt located in the center of a large city and which you can easily walk to the nearby forest.
Officially, the park was handed over to the city in 1908. Earlier, in 1885, thanks to the damming of the Osówka river, Lake Rusałka was created - in spring and summer it was possible to sail on it, and in winter the lake turned into an ice rink. In addition, restaurants were opened in the park, a bridge over Rusalka was built, fountains and sculptures were set up. There is also a toboggan run, a concert square, a beer and milk pump room, and a playground for children. In 1915, a restaurant was opened in a former malt mill right on the lake shore, which enjoyed great popularity.
Until World War II, the complex created by Quistorp was extremely attractive for tourists and residents of Szczecin. This attractiveness was raised by exotic species of trees and shrubs brought from all over the world - some of them have survived to the present day.
There are over 200 species of trees and shrubs on the site. In addition to trees well-known in Poland, such as chestnut trees, beeches, willows and oaks, we can find, among others, mountain pine, yellow pine, Jeffrey pine, Serbian spruce, American hornbeam, Tartar maple, Persian parotia, Brewer's spruce, manna ash and Dutch linden. Moreover, in the Park of Jan Kasprowicz, we will find the only North American Garden in Europe. The park is also very popular among cyclists - after all, it is here that we can find a fragment of the oldest bicycle path in all of Central Europe.
After World War II, the site, which since 1945 has been called "park im. Jan Kasprowicz ”was slightly neglected. It was necessary to dismantle the malt mill, which housed the restaurant, also the so-called Japanese bridge.
In the second half of the 1970s, a decision was made to build an amphitheater for approx. 4.5 thousand square meters. viewers. The facility is called Teatr Letni im. Helena Majdaniec. Near the theater, there is a sculpture "fire birds", which was made by Władysław Hasior. In 1979, a monument to the Deed of Poles by Gustaw Zemła was presented in the park In the farthest end of the park there is the so-called Różanka - a garden that was renovated in 2007. In addition, in recent years, the park's lighting has been renewed, and several small gastronomy points have been created on its premises. There are plans to establish a restaurant.
Park of Jan Kasprowicz was entered on the provincial list of monuments in December 1994.

Jasne Błonia
A sprawling green area, created in the 1920s and dedicated to Pope John Paul II in 1995. The square is flanked on both sides by London planetrees – 213 in total, making Jasne Błonia the largest cluster of this species in Poland.
The green square was established in the years 1925 - 1927 on the lands that belonged to the Quistorp family. In the middle there is a wide strip of lawn with flower arrangements in the central part, on both sides there are alleys planted with rows of London plane trees. Further on, Jasne Błonia flows smoothly into the Kasprowicz Park, and then into Las Arkoński.
In 1979, near Piotr Skarga Steet, the Monument to the Deed of Poles was built, which became the dominant feature of the square layout. The object shows three eagles taking flight and was designed by Gustaw Zemła. The monument was to present three generations of the inhabitants of Szczecin - the Polish community living in these lands before World War II, to the pioneers of the post-war city and the generation that expanded Szczecin. The building was to express gratitude to the city's society for its rebuilding. It should be remembered that the object was commissioned by the party.
Almost ten years later, in June 1987, Pope John Paul II celebrated a mass in Jasne Błonia - this event was commemorated in 1995 with the Pope's monument. The name of the square was also changed to Jasne Błonia im. John Paul II.
The building was entered on the provincial list of monuments in December 2004.

Lake Bartoszewo
Lake Bartoszewo is a small, stagnant reservoir, an average depth of which is approx. 1.5 m, so it is quite shallow. Plots with buildings extend along one of the edges of the lake. It is not difficult to get to the lake, because there is a firm sandy road around it, which is to streamline pedestrian, cyclist, but also car locomotion. There are three small wooden jetties, and the shores are overgrown with reeds and rushes. It is a perfect place to relax in nature. You can most often meet there anglers and the tourists barbecuing and relaxing in the shade of the numerous trees on the shores of the lake.  You can fish for tench or crucian carp there; and also for pike, but in small quantities only. You will not find direct access to the lake everywhere, so it is best to use the footbridges located around it. The bottom of the lake is quite heavily silted. Swimming in the lake is not prohibited, but the beach is not guarded. There are a few restaurants nearby that are visited in great numbers at the weekend and during the summer season. After a good meal, you can go for a walk around the lake or relax alongshore.

Lake Rusałka
Lake Rusałka is an artificial reservoir of elongated shape, formed in the Middle Ages as a result of damming up the Osówka flowing there. This was due to two water mills which were constructed in such a way that ended up on the lake as a result of their work. These were the Lübsche Mill (now non-existent) positioned on the western shore and the Słodowy [Malt] Mill (in the eastern part of the lake). The land surrounding the lake was transformed into a park in 1900 (the today's Kasprowicz Park) and the Słodowy Mill was converted into a restaurant Haus am Westendsee (from the German name of Lake Westendsee). There is also a picturesque bridge with annexes in a Japanese style over the lake. The lake was full of boats, which could be rented in the summer, but was a popular ice-skating rink in the winter. The buildings, intact after the hostilities of World War II, gradually began to fall into disrepair. The mill and its turrets on the banks of the bridge were demolished in the 1960s. An amphitheatre (the Helena Majdaniec Summer Theatre) was built in the years 1974 - 1976 on the slope descending to Lake Rusałka. Currently, the shores of Lake Rusałka are still a popular place for walks of the residents of Szczecin.

Marina Trzebież
The marina is located at the Central Sailing Centre and can accommodate up to 120 vessels. Water and power supply pedestals are available. There is also a hostel on site.
Sailing harbor in the built-up area of ​​ the A. Benesza Central Sailing Center in Trzebież is on the western shore of the Szczecin Lagoon, at Rybacka 26. Some of the vessels may also moor at the quay located at the Harbor Master's Office, at Portowa 23. To reach COŻ from Szczecin, take provincial road No. 115, and then, at Tanowo, follow provincial road No. 114 leading to Nowe Warpno via Trzebież. In Trzebież, after the railway crossing, continue straight ahead to the intersection of Kościuszki, WOP, Portowa and Rybacka Streets, where you should enter the last one, pass the St. Exaltation of the Holy Cross and drive until you see the gate of the Sailing Center. Another way of getting from Szczecin is the route through Przęsocin, which joins the Old Market Square in Police and provincial road No. 114 leading to Trzebież. To get to the marina from the Harbor Master's Office, at the previously mentioned intersection, turn into Portowa Street and continue until the entrance gate and the Harbor Master's Office.
The sailing harbor in Trzebież is divided into two parts. Yachts can moor at the quays in the northern part adjacent to the Central Sailing Center, as well as in the southern part, which, despite its commercial and transit character, also accepts sports vessels in addition to passenger ships, but in a smaller number than in the northern part. 120 units can stay in the yacht basins at COŻ at the same time. The marina with concrete quays is equipped with electricity and running water. There are showers and toilets in the facility located on the premises of COŻ, as well as at the transit port. Repair workshops are also located at COŻ. Free internet is available in the main building. At the transit quay connecting the southern and northern parts, there is a container petrol station adapted to servicing vessels.

Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic
Built in 2014, the impressive white building of the philharmonic has become an instant landmark in Szczecin. The two concert halls can accommodate 1,100 guests.
The Philharmonic Hall is a five-storey building with a two-level underground car park. Its total area is 12 734 m2. The building has 2 concert halls, one of which can accommodate approx. 900 people and the other - approx. 200 people. It is made of white pointed elements that need the external lighting of 25 000 lights. The total sum of investments amounted to over PLN 100 million. The project was co-financed by the Regional Operational Programme of the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, and the author was a company from Barcelona, which was chosen as the best one out of 44 others that submitted their projects to the competition. The building contractor was Warbud, a Polish company.  The Philharmonic Hall was opened in September 2014. During the opening ceremony, Mr. Bronisław Komorowski, the President of Poland, was, among others, delivering a speech; and called the Philharmonic a symbol of Polish freedom. It enables concerts to be arranged on a big European level; so, despite its short history, numerous outstanding bands from our continent have been coming there. The main reason for starting the Philharmonic Hall was to improve the quality of cultural life in the region. The building is modern and yet majestic, and its erection was not unnoticed throughout Poland. The interior of the philharmonic hall is primarily impressive.

Monument to the Deed of Poles
The Monument to the Deed of Poles is one of the most characteristic monuments in Szczecin. It was unveiled in 1979. It was funded by contributions from residents and from the A. Warski Szczecin Shipyard. Its author is the sculptor Gustaw Zemła who collaborated on its creation with the sculptor E. Kozak. The monument refers to three generations of Szczecin residents, whose memory was to be preserved by erecting the monument. The first of them is the generation of the Polish community in Szczecin from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries living abroad until the war. The second generation are Szczecin residents who contributed to the reconstruction of the city after the war. The third eagle is a symbol of the last generation that was involved in the development of industry, health care, culture, communication, and modern construction. The plinth was made by J.W. Piskorz-Nałęcki. Its total height is 22.5 m. The eagles presented in the monument weigh in total 60 tons, while the entire structure is as much as 150 tons. The monument is a tourist attraction appearing on numerous postcards, as well as an important place in the minds of the inhabitants. During many state ceremonies flowers are placed under it. The monument is illuminated at night.

Museum of Contemporary Art – branch of the National Museum in Szczecin
The building, dating back to the late 18th century, originally served as the headquarters of the Szczecin Fortress garrison. Today, it is the seat of the Szczecin Museum of Contemporary Art, showing modern art pieces from Poland and abroad.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the classicist building of the former garrison headquarters of the Szczecin fortress, built in the fourth quarter of the 18th century, and repeatedly transformed in later years. It served the military authorities until the end of World War II. In the 1970s it was handed over to the National Museum in Szczecin.
In 1980, after adaptation, it became the seat of a branch of the museum related to contemporary art. Through cycles of temporary exhibitions, a program of popularizing and promoting contemporary art is implemented, based on its own collection (Polish and foreign art) and projects developed in cooperation with other institutions, organizations and artists in the country and abroad.
In addition to presenting significant phenomena in Polish art, a regional program focused on the most important creative individuals in the region of West Pomerania, the museum coordinates the international program Mare Articum, under which it organizes, among others, The Baltic Biennale of Contemporary Art.
The building is not adapted to the needs of disabled people - there is no elevator in the building. There are seven steps leading to the first exposure, without a handrail. There is one step in front of the entrance to the building.
The building was placed on the provincial list of monuments in June 1954.

Museum of Regional Traditions – branch of the National Museum in Szczecin
The Museum of Regional Traditions is located in the old residence of King Frederick William I of Prussia built in the 1720. The museum shows archaeological and ethnographic exhibitions and has a collection of old and contemporary art.
The Museum of Regional Traditions is located in the baroque Palace of the States Parliament, built in 1726–1727 at the request of the Prussian king Frederick William I. The building was designed by Gerhard Cornelius de Walrave (1692–1773), the author of the famous fortress in Kłodzko and the Szczecin fortifications. The palace served as a meeting place for the self-government of the Pomeranian Province, as well as the king's residence during his visits to Szczecin.
Above the entrance there is the coat of arms of Pomerania, and at the top of the facade - the coat of arms of the King of Prussia against the background of panoplies (crossed elements of armament) and allegorical representations of the royal virtues: Justice (with a scale and a sword) and Prudence (a figure with a mirror and a snake). This arrangement of coats of arms was not accidental, it was supposed to reflect the subordination of Pomerania to the Kingdom of Prussia. The beauty of the building is enhanced by a rusticated façade, decorative window bands and an intricate balustrade of the balcony and external stairs. The attic space is limited by the slopes of the mansard roof. In the years 1885-1888 the building was expanded (an additional wing was built then, and the existing one on the side of Staromłyńska Street - extended).
In the interwar period, the palace was rebuilt into the seat of the Pomeranian National Museum, and after the Second World War, the building was taken over by the Museum of Western Pomerania, now the National Museum in Szczecin. Its interiors mainly show monuments of Pomeranian art, incl. a portrait of Prince Philip I painted by Lucas Cranach the Younger and wonderful jewels of Pomeranian dukes from the 16th / 17th century.
Permanent exhibitions:
1) Pomeranian Cabinet. In the mirror of coins, banknotes and seals
The exhibition is divided into three parts. In the first room there are Pomeranian seals functioning in the city space from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century. These are objects that belonged primarily to the city authorities and offices as well as craft guilds. The content displayed in the fields of the seal relates to the economic, social, political and religious life of the city.
In the second exhibition space, you can learn about the history of the issue of substitute money. The outbreak of the war and the difficulties resulting from the lack of coins led to the issuance of substitute money in the form of vouchers - the so-called notifications by unauthorized local government authorities and persons running a business. In the years 1917-1920, coins also appeared in circulation.
The third room shows the role of the coin as a means of transmitting information. The exhibition reflects the history of the coin in Pomerania from the 12th to the 19th centuries. The beginning of this road is marked by the two-sided denarii of Pomeranian dukes minted in the 12th century; medieval coinage was dominated by municipal and Kamień bishops' issues; the modern period abounds in princely circulation and occasional issues, perpetuating signs that have been known for centuries. After the extinction of the Griffin dynasty in 1637, the divided principality found itself in two different currency areas. Its eastern part was closely related to the State of Brandenburg, while in the western part, the Pomeranian coinage was continued by the Swedish rulers. The last Pomeranian issues were established in 1808 in Stralsund.
In the same room there are two treasures containing Pomeranian coins: the late medieval one from Pyrzyce and the modern one from Choszczno.
2) The golden age of Pomerania. Art at the court of Pomeranian dukes in the 16th and 17th centuries
The collection of the Szczecin museum is the largest existing collection related to the patronage activity of princes from the Gryfit dynasty. The exhibition will feature paintings, sculptures and artistic craftsmanship. One of the most valuable objects on display is the 1541 Portrait of Philip I by Lucas Cranach the Younger. A unique monument of court culture is also the family tree of the princes of Western Pomerania, a 7-meter-long painting by Cornelius Crommeny from 1598, which depicts as many as one hundred and fifty-five people from the Griffin family. An extremely important part of the exhibition are the costumes and jewels recovered from the crypt of the Szczecin castle after the Second World War, with the famous diamond-encrusted egret (ornament of the hubcap) of Prince Francis I. The exhibition also features a portrait of Prince Francis I in the marches, borrowed from the cathedral in Merseburg, showing the prince in the same costume and with the same jewels that can be seen at the exhibition.
3) Old Silver
The exhibition presents goldsmiths from the collections of the National Museum in Szczecin. The layout of the exhibition allows you to trace the fashions and trends in European goldsmithing from the Middle Ages to the Art Nouveau. Beautiful items made of precious metals also testify to the extraordinary skills of the old masters. The oldest monument is the legendary golden ring from Pęzino (Western Pomerania) from around 1200 - with the figure of a knight and an inscription that has not been deciphered so far. The oldest works presented at the exhibition also include liturgical vessels and utensils from the area of Western Pomerania. Table silver is the largest group of items on display. Among them, the rococo terrine (i.e. a vase for serving soups) by Johann Jacob Sandrart II, dating from the 1860s, stands out.
In the "Old Silver" exhibition space, you can see "Gemma" with a profile image of King Stanisław August, which was donated to the Museum by Mrs. Marion George from Berlin.

Myśliborskie Wielkie Lake
Myśliborskie Wielkie Lake belongs to the catchment area of Myśliborka River and it constitutes the largest fresh water lake in the Nowe Warpno municipality. At the lake there are two villages: Myślibórz Wielki – in the east and Myślibórz Mały – in the north. In Poland its surface area is 53.6 ha and it is located in the Nowe Warpno municipality, in Police County, while the other part in Germany is located in the Meklemburgia land - West Pomerania in the Vorpommern – Greifswald County. The border line goes directly across the lake. Myśliborskie Wielkie Lake is a water reservoir, the maximum depth of which is approx. 2.8 m. It is characterized by a muddy bottom, average transparency and rich vegetation emerging on its surface. Around the lake the area is rather marshy and its shores do not favour fishing or sightseeing, which does not mean that the lake is inaccessible. The lake is not a bathing area. If you wish to go fishing, the best way is to go by boat, and from this perspective you can also admire the surroundings of the lake. However on the shore there are also places available for fishermen, you just need to look for them well. In the lake there are various types of fish, such as pike, perch and tench, as well as crucian carp, bream and roach. In order to get on the lake with a pontoon, the best location to launch is between Myśliborskie Wielkie Lake and Myśliborskie Małe Lake.

Parish Church of Our Lady, Queen of the World in Dobra
Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady, Queen of the World, is near the roundabout in Dobra, where Graniczna and Szczecińska streets meet, approx. 14.5 km north-west of the center of Szczecin. In the area there is the Dobra Commune Office, a branch of the Post Office and the Volunteer Fire Department. Nearby, there is a public transport stop for lines no. 105, 108, 121, 122 and 123. There is a large car park next to the church.
The beginnings of the church of Our Lady, Queen of the World in Dobra, date back to the mid-thirteenth century. The temple underwent major reconstruction only in the 18th and 19th centuries; during this period, a porch was added to the western corner of the southern wall, and the next step was to change the location of the windows and enlarge the existing ones. Another porch was added, this time to the west corner of the north wall. Inside the temple, there is an eighteenth-century richly decorated baroque altar and a pulpit, as well as many other interesting elements, such as: a plaster statue of the Mother of God with the Child, a painting of Our Lady of Perpetual Help or a painting with the image of a Franciscan - Bl. Rafał Chyliński, and under him his relics. The church, functioning until the end of World War II, as a Protestant church, was consecrated as a Catholic branch church of the parish in Wołczków in 1957, and its patron was Our Lady, Queen of the World. On January 7, 1985, Fr. bp. K. Majdański erected a new parish at the temple, which since 1988 has been under the care of the Franciscan Fathers living in the church monastery. On August 25, 2012, by the decision of Fr. Archbishop. A. Dzięga, the parish was divided; a new, separate parish was established in Buk. The day of the indulgence in the Dobra Parish is August 22 - the memory of Our Lady Queen. Currently, the parish priest is Father Bogdan Wroński.

Polish Catholic St. Apostles Peter and Paul Parish
Polish Catholic St. Apostles Peter and Paul parish is at 4/5 Św. Piotra i Pawła Square in Szczecin.
The Church of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul in Szczecin is now a parish of the Polish Catholic Church, belonging to the Pomeranian-Greater Poland deanery of the Wrocław diocese.
On the site of today's temple, apparently already in the 6th-8th centuries, "holy oaks" grew, and the deities of the Polabian Slavs and Pomeranians (Trzygłowa) were worshiped. In 1124, Bishop Otto of Bamberg (during his Christianization mission) laid the foundation stone for the first Christian church in West Pomerania, which was built on this site. This wooden church, however, was burnt during the Danish invasion in 1189. In 1223-1237 a new brick temple was built in its place, which has survived to this day. The St. Apostles Peter and Paul Church is the only church in Szczecin that remains under the same invocation, given by Bishop Otto himself. Currently, this church is on the European Route of Brick Gothic and is entered in the register of monuments in 1955, number A-803. In 1534, the church was converted into a Protestant temple. Since 1945, the parish has belonged to the followers of the Polish Catholic Church. Until 1978, the pastor of this parish was Fr. Zdzisław Zaremba, and then Fr. Stanisław Bosy, who has been holding this position to this day.
The wooden painting on the vault by the German painter Ernst Eichner from 1703 (24 m long and 4 m wide) depicting three biblical scenes: the flood and God the Father, four Evangelists, and the sermon of Christ on the Mount and the Lamb is an undoubted advantage of the church. Another valuable exhibit is the 16th century chandeliers donated by the Habsburgs. The church also contains the largest collection of epitaph plaques from the 16th and 17th centuries. In one of the side chapels there is also a place commemorating those murdered in Oświęcim by Brzezińka. Ecumenical meetings and concerts take place in the parish, for example from the "Temple of Art" series, or jazz hymns.
The Polish Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland is the Old Catholic Church legally operating in Poland, being a member of the Utrecht Union of Old Catholic Churches, the World Council of Churches, the Conference of European Churches, and the Polish Ecumenical Council. The Church is governed by its own law, which is passed by the National Synod, which is called: the internal law of the Polish Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland.
Liturgy of the Holy Mass : Sun. 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., weekly at 5:00 p.m. Office: Mon.-Fri. 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

Professors' houses
From the very beginning, the professors' houses were associated with the nearby collegiate church. Of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the Middle Ages, they were inhabited by the canons of the collegiate chapter, and after the Reformation carried out in the 16th century, professors of the Princely Pedagogy of Szczecin.
Originally, the facades of the buildings faced the church as the city wall ran behind them. In 1739, the modernization of the facilities began, during which the front façade was created at the rear of the buildings.
In the building at the intersection of today's Mariacka Street and Korsarzy Street the so-called economat, and at Mariacka Street was the so-called Great Auditorium. In 1831, two buildings at the corner of Mariacka Street, and in 1931 one of them was liquidated.
The complex of buildings survived the activities carried out during the Second World War. In the years 1964-1969, the remaining houses were thoroughly renovated. Today, the facade of the building is renovated. In the basements of some buildings, Gothic cellars from the 15th century have been preserved, with rib vaults. The underground has been adapted into a restaurant.
The complex of professors' houses at Żołnierza Polskiego Square was entered on the provincial list of monuments in June 1954.

Rector's office of the University of Szczecin
The present building of the US Rector's Office was designed by construction counselor Rönnebeck in 1885. The building was erected in the years 1886-1888. The facility was erected due to the overcrowded gymnasium at today's Wielkopolska Street 14. The building was the first to be erected on a street that was not marked before.
Above the main entrance to the new building of the "König Wilkhem Gymnasium", a shell-shaped recess was created in which the bust of King William was located. Only the shell has survived to our times. There are two Latin sentences on the facade of the building: "we learn not for school, but for life" and "in a healthy body, healthy spirit".
In 1944, during the Allied air raids, the building was bombed. After the end of the war, the building was rebuilt. After the renovation, the roof structure was significantly simplified. The building was built of red bricks.
Both the former gymnasium buildings have survived to this day - now at Wielkopolska Street 14 is the seat of the Special School Complex. And in the building at Jana Pawła II Street 22a there were successively: primary school, State Educational Institution for Deaf children, Faculty of Physical Education, Teacher Training College, Institute of Physical Culture of the Pedagogical University, Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Szczecin, and since 1995, after a thorough renovation, the Rector's Office of the University of Szczecin.
The building was entered on the provincial list of monuments in March 2003.

Rieth Beach
The beach at Lake Nowowarpieńskie (Neuwarper See in German) is somewhat hidden and not widely known. The small, sandy beach with a large meadow is perfect for a summer picnic and relaxation against the backdrop of the beautiful islet on the lake. The beach infrastructure is built for comfort, with plenty of parking lots, wooden benches, a bonfire site and a mobile toilet. There is also a wooden climbing frame for children. This region of Germany has the most sunny days in the entire country, which makes it perfect for summer vacation.

Różanka Rose Garden
The 2-hectare garden was created in 1928. In 2006, as part of a comprehensive restoration project, 9 thousand roses were planted. One of the main points of interest in the garden is the fountain with four sculptures of geese.
The Rose Garden in Szczecin was established on an area of 2 hectares in 1928 on the occasion of a gardeners' convention. Even before the outbreak of World War II, in 1935, the so-called "Bird Fountain" with sculptures by Kurt Schwerdtfeger.
During the Second World War, the facility did not suffer any special losses. Intact, after 1945 it was one of the favorite vacation spots of Szczecin's residents. This state of affairs continued until the 1970s. Later, times were slightly worse - due to the lack of money for the maintenance of the garden, the building gradually fell into disrepair. From 1983 to 2005, the Różanka area belonged to the Archdiocese of Szczecin-Kamień, in 2005 it was again in the hands of the city.
A year later, the modernization and reconstruction of the garden began in the style of the 1930s. On April 20, 2007, the facility was put into operation. Over nine thousand roses in 99 varieties were planted in the garden. In the area of Różanka we can find, among others American hornbeam, Serbian spruce which occurs only in the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, maple, smooth horse chestnut, Amur cork and fruit trees. As part of the modernization, stairs, alleys and a playground were built, the "Bird Fountain" was also recreated, the main element of which are four concrete geese - three of them are original.
The Rose Garden in Szczecin was entered on the provincial list of monuments in April 2004.

Ruins of an Augustinian monastery
The monastery was founded in the 13th century after the arrival of the Augustinian friars in the area. In the 16th century, as a result of the reformation, the monastery was dissolved and the building gradually declined. The ruins are open to visitors.
The ruins of the Augustinian monastery in Police-Jasienica is a monument that reminds You of the beautiful history of these lands. This is one of the most beautiful monuments of medieval monastic architecture in West Pomerania. Its origin is connected with the presence of the Augustinians - monks brought to this land in the middle of the thirteenth century. Thanks to their activities, the areas by the river, wet until then, became utilised and the Gunica became regulated. The monks built a mill, bred sheep and pigs, as well as cultivated hops and owned several inns. They were also at the disposal of a wooden church built in the late thirteenth century, which was later rebuilt by them. The monastery itself was founded in the fourteenth century. The monastery buildings consisted of two two-storey naves and a church, which formed together a courtyard open westwards. What survived to our times are the initial foundations of buildings in the Gothic style with peripheral walls on the south and east naves to the first floor, and cellar rooms. During the Reformation in the sixteenth century, the monastery of Jasienica ceased to fulfil its functions and became secularised. At the end of the seventeenth century, it began to fall into disrepair. In the mid-twentieth century, the upper storeys were removed. Today, the area around the church and the ruins of the monastery is well maintained and cleared. Dangerous places are enclosed. The interior of the building is overgrown with shrubs and other wild vegetation, but it is available to the public and it is possible to sightsee the ruins closely. Preserved decorative window arches and arcades perfectly highlight the style which the monastery was built in. The area is encompassed by a churchyard. The ruins of the monastery are available to be seen by any visitor. Part of the building can be reached from the outside, the other remaining elements can be accessed from the courtyard of the church. This beautiful place is very often used as the background of various kinds of outdoor photo sessions. The Augustinian Fair, a regular event aiming at cultivating the culture of the former culture, especially the medieval one, has been organised for several years next to the church and ruins at the end of summer holidays. What is more, the Passion of Christ has recently started to be staged in the ruins of the church on Holy Saturday. The temple located in the neighbourhood is perfectly visible from the road because it is, in fact, built on an elevated area. The ruins of the monastery are hidden a bit deeper.

Ruins of the old synthetic fuel factory
Built one year before the outbreak of World War II, the factory produced synthetic fuel from coal for the German army. Free-of-charge guided tours of the factory are available.
The factory of synthetic petrol - Hydrierwerke Pölitz was established in 1938. Liquid fuel from coal (synthetic petrol) for the German army was produced there. In 1944, the factory covered the area of 1,500 hectares, including 200 hectares of dense technical infrastructure, from which several characteristic buildings have survived in various condition up to this day. The most recognizable structure is a coal elevator for storing semi-finished products and producing petrol. Also the framework of production halls can be seen. Ground anti-aircraft shelters and the Splitterschutzzelle single-person bunkers resembling an egg and the Westermann bunkers in a form of a cylinder ended with a pointed concrete layer have also been preserved. One may encounter complexes of silos for storing fuel too. Everything is hidden in dense groupings of trees and bushes. Some places are difficult to reach and dangerous. There are a lot of debris, rocks, and metal or cast iron fragments that stick out of the ground – that is why it is not advisable to walk among the ruins of the factory without assistance. On each Saturday, at 1:00 pm, there is a free-of-charge guided tour organized, during which it is possible to visit the factory, go underground, and see permanent exhibitions in the seat of the Association.

State Archives (complex of buildings) in Szczecin
The beginnings of the Szczecin archive date back to 1831, at that time it was located in the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle. In 1900 the collection was moved to its present location, a sizable building on Święty Wojciecha Street, the construction of which was financed by the Prussian authorities. The new seat allowed for the development and enlargement of the archive collection. During World War II, most of the collections were taken to Pomerania. The archive returned to work on August 1, 1945, under the Polish flag. Attempts were made to collect scattered collections and to complete new ones.
In the archive you can find a wide range of documents and materials about the city and the region, both historic and contemporary. One of the most interesting is the document from 1293 confirming the location of Szczecin under the Magdeburg Law. Some of the materials are available in digital form. The catalog of the collections is available on the website.
There is also a library with large collections concerning, in particular, Western Pomerania, magazines, and literature devoted to archival work. The archive conducts educational activities, lessons for children are organized here, the topics are books, the history of the city and Western Pomerania, genealogy and many more. Currently, there are two branches operating at the archive in Szczecin, in Stargard and Międzyzdroje.

Statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni
Bartolomeo Colleoni was a famous Venetian mercenary. His statue in Lotników Square is an exact copy of the original Renaissance piece. For many years, the statue was erected in Warsaw, but in 2002 returned to Szczecin.
The statue represents a famous Venetian condotierre (a leader of mercenary units, who formed troops at his own expense). It is one of the most impressive replicas of the most famous Renaissance works. The original statue was made by Andrea del Verrocchio. The replica was created for the need of the Municipal Museum in Szczecin in 1913. The monument was given to Warsaw as a part of support for the destroyed capital city. There, it was placed at the Academy of Fine Arts’ yard. The statue has not returned to Szczecin until 2002. In 2009, it was renovated – a weapon held in the right hand was restored.

Statue of the Helmsman Mariner
The over 4 m high copper statue was erected in 1980 in the city center in the Fountain Avenue. The statue was designed by Ryszard Chachulski.
Szczecin, as a city where the Maritime University of Szczecin is located, had to possess a monument referring with its appearance to maritime traditions of the capital city of the West Pomerania Province. According to the design by Ryszard Chachulski, on the commission of the Association of Friends of Szczecin, on proposal of Zbigniew Abrahamowicz, it was decided that an imposing copper statue representing a sailor should be erected. The plan was fulfilled in 1980. The figure looks majestic and measures, along with a pedestal, 405 cm. The sailor holds a steering wheel in his hands, and the collar of his overcoat seems to wave in the wind. The figure is not related to any specific event; it reminds the inhabitants and tourists who visit Szczecin that it is a city connected with sea and seafaring. The fragment of the Alley of Fountains, where currently stands the statue of a Mariner-Helmsman, was developed in the 1990s. In 2007, the monument underwent a refurbishment. It is surrounded by lavish vegetation and colourful bushes. Behind its back, there is one out of three fountains located in this part of the street (hence the name – the Alley of Fountains).

Szczecin City Council
The City Council is located in a historic building with a large inner courtyard from the early 20th century, adjacent to Jasne Błonia park.
The decision to build the present building of the City Hall was made in 1921. The building was to be used as the seat of the main administrative office of the Pomeranian Province. In 1924, the central part was erected, a year later the eastern wing was added, and in 1927 the remaining buildings. The whole thing was designed by dr. Eng. Georg Steinmetz, the plans assumed integrating the facility into the park established by Quistorp. The main buildings of the office surround a quadrilateral courtyard, in the eastern part there is an additional internal Courtyard.
The facility housed the offices of the governor general, provincial administrator, office director, chief chancellor and heads of technical departments. In the years 1933-1945 the complex was the seat of the NSDAP.
In the main building, in the central part, there is a representative staircase, and a telephone exchange on the ground floor. In the left wing there are large rooms that were intended for official ceremonies and meetings before the war. Currently, the City Council sessions are held in the left wing, and the most impressive room until 2014 was intended for the philharmonic hall. In the right wing there were offices and cash registers - to this day the right wing is intended for customer service. There is a 700 sq m bunker under the building, which can shelter 500 People.
The office building was erected in a neo-baroque style. Two passages have been created under the central building, leading to the park part. Initially, the facade of the building was green, and the residents colloquially called it "spinach palace" or "spinach house". In the 1960s, as a result of covering the walls with cement mortar, the building became gray. Only in 2011, a decision was made to restore the original color. Since 2013, we can admire the greenery of the office.
The building of the City Hall was entered on the provincial list of monuments in October 1995.

The Elevation of the Holy Cross Roman Catholic church in Trzebież
The history of the church in Trzebież starts in the second half of the 14th century, when the St Catherine Roman Catholic church was built in the village, in the Romanesque-Gothic style. In the second half of the 16th century, after the Reformation, the character of the church changed – Evangelical services were conducted there.  In the next years, in the mid-18th century, the church was partially rebuilt and expanded. During the reconstruction, the nave was prolonged eastwards and a baroque tower (with a spire and a cross on a golden sphere) was added. Two bells cast in Szczecin (one from 1664, the second from 1729) were suspended in the tower. During this period an elongated windows were fitted; also, the choir was added in 1793. After the end of the Second World War, the church became Polish and on September 22nd 1946, it was consecrated as the Elevation of the Holy Cross church. As a date of a church fair, September 14th was chosen. Destroyed in the turmoil of the war, the church was attempted to be rebuilt by Rev. Mieczysław Mroczkowski and the parishioners. When the parish priest was Rev. Józef Kępka, in 1949, there were mission conducted, which ended in consecrating a mission cross standing on the left side of the church entrance. In August 1951 Rev. Paweł Karchanek came to the parish; under his management two sides altars were added in the church. The subsequent parish priests also made every effort to put the church and its surroundings in order. When Rev. J. Król was the parish priest, a sacristy was refurbished; Rev J. Abramski took care of the surroundings of the church – parishioners erected a wall and the green area around the building was developed. The church was painted from the outside, and the walls were previously smoothed. In the church, there is also a historic pipe organ, renovation of which was carried out in the years 1957-1958. In the late 1990s, the church was renovated again. It has been entered into the provincial register of historic monuments (no A-546 from December 22nd, 1965); likewise, the historic clergy house from the early 19th century, located opposite to the church (no A-530 from April 25th, 1997). On the right side of the church, there is a statue of Mother of God of Comfort, made by Zbigniew Policki. The current parish priest is Rev. Mieczysław Wdowiak. The parish supervises the branch church in Niekłończyca. The church can be accessed through high steps only.

The Franciscan monastery
The monastery in Dobra Szczecińska was erected on the 7th of July 1989. Franciscans of the Province of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual with their seat in Gdańsk started their pastoral activities. After some time, a house was built, which was consecrated in March 1992 and it became a permanent place of living for the monastic community. Currently Franciscans take care of the local parish church of Our Lady Queen of the World, which includes the following towns: Dobra, Grzepnica and Płochociny.

The area, where the monastery and the church are located, is fenced with a low stone wall, in which there is a stone-brick gate with a rather wide passage. In front of the entrance to the church there is a bell tower, while between the bell tower and the gate there is a stone board memorial for German residents of Dobra who died during the 1st World War. Franciscans have a peaceful garden, perfect for praying and walking. Among ornamental shrubs under a wooden structure there is a statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate.

The Ippen Villa (the Institute of National Remembrance)
The villa at 14 Piotra Skargi Street was established in 1927 for, Hermann Otto Ippen, a ship-owner. Its designer was Gustav Gauss, who designed it in a neo-baroque style with impressive ending of facades. Unfortunately, the project has not been completed because the owner decided to simplify some of the construction, just after the foundations having been built. He submitted to the building supervision services a new idea of ​​building the facility, and thus the present form is characterised by a high resistance wall and modernist form of the building with neo-baroque elements. The town took over the building from the ship-owner in the mid-30s and the assets were entrusted to General von Blaskowitzow as an official residence. He officiated there until the end of World War II. A few years later (the early 1950s), the villa began to serve the Soviet consulate, and then - the consulate of the Russian Federation until 1998. After its shutdown, the North-Western Regional Branch of Powszechny Bank Kredytowy used to operate there. Immediately after new tenants moved in, the villa was given a major overhaul. Currently, since 2009, it has been the seat of: the Departmental Public Education Office of the Szczecin branch of the Institute of National Remembrance and the Departmental Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes Against the Polish Nation. The Ippen Villa is one of the youngest villas built in the former Szczecin district of Westend. The property was inscribed on the list of immovable monuments. The founder of the company, which bought the land for a new district was Johannes Quistorp, who run business together with his son and a friend Augustus Horn. Piotra Skargi Street administratively belonged to those lands. Today, former Westend is said to have been a luxury housing estate for rich entrepreneurs.

The Monument Of Pope John Paul Ii
The monument was unveiled on June 18th, 1995. It is situated in place where Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass during his visit in Szczecin on June 11th, 1987. The sculpture was made of bronze. It was designed by Czesław Dźwigaj, who was a creator of similar monuments located in the West Pomerania Province. He was assisted by Stanisław Latour. The figure of the Pope is shown in liturgical vestment; in one hand he holds a cross and his second hand is raised in a famous gesture of salutation. On the pedestal, there is a papal coat of arms, the coat of arms of Szczecin, and a quotation from a homily delivered during the Pope’s memorable visit: “...Family is strong with God, country is strong with family...”.

The Monument Of The Victims Of The December 1970 Protests
It is one of the youngest and most interesting monuments of Szczecin. It commemorates the civil protest on Solidarności Square in Szczecin (in December 1970), during which 16 people were killed and approximately 100 were wounded. In that time, strikes connected with increase in prices of meat and comestibles took place throughout Poland. The monument was unveiled in 2005 in the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Independent Self-governing Trade Union "Solidarność". It represents a figure of an angel, under which special inscriptions along with a commemorative plaque with the names of the killed are located. The monument’s designer is Czesław Dźwigaj. What is noteworthy is the fact that before implementing his idea, the city authorities wanted to put in the place where the statue is standing several other sculptures. None of these projects, however, has been implemented. The other name of the monument is "Anioł Wolności" [Angel of Freedom].

The Palace in Karszyn
The Palace in Karszyn is situated near the historic half-timbered church of St. Hubert, in quiet and picturesque surroundings. You cannot see the building from the province road even though it is only 300 m from it. The building was built in the French Neorenaissance style at the end of the 19th century by the von Enckevorth family, the owners of the property in Karszyn. After the 2nd World War the nearby property together with the palace was nationalized. In the 70’s of the 20th century the palace was generally renovated, transformed and assigned to function as a facility of the Border Troops. In the period after the political transformation, after 1989 the facilities were manager by the Pomeranian Department of Border Guard in Szczecin. Currently the palace is managed by the Stanisław Staszic’s Pomeranian Library in Szczecin, which has their storage library there. The facilities constitute a place for cultural meetings, conferences, exhibitions and outside events. Around the residence there is a beautiful historic park. Considering the shape of the building itself, it is a two story building with an attic covered with galvanized sheet metal mansard roof and with dormer windows providing light to the attic. The building has a basement. You enter the building through a porch, to which several stairs lead. The palace is made of red brick. In the posterior façade there are two side risalits: next to the northern side elevation – there is a square three-storey tower, and next to the southern elevation – there is a single-story semi-circular outhouse. In the 70’s of the 20th century the building was renovated inside and it lost its initial nature. Wooden stairs were replaced with reinforced concrete stairs. The majority of windows and doors were replaced. It is worth highlighting that in the palace the original equipment was not preserved.

The Palace in Stolec
The Palace in Stolec is situated near the border with Germany, near the lake and it is one of the most beautiful places of this sort in the Police County. It was built between 1721 and 1727 in the Classicising Baroque style. There is a chestnut alley leading to the main entrance of the residence. To enter the palace complex you go through a monumental richly decorated, neo-baroque wrought-iron gate, which is embedded in two concrete pillars on which on both sides there are deer sculptures. The wings of the gate are decorated with floral motifs and initials of the last owner from the von Ramin family. The fencing is not complete and unfortunately it still undergoes degradation. The alley leading to the building finishes at the driveway decorated with an oval lawn. There is also a yard. This place is separated with a small fencing which makes it impossible to further sightsee the complex independently, however those who are interested in what is on the other side of the castle continue their explorations. On the western part of the palace there is a linden alley, and behind it – there are forests, meadows and a lake which constitutes a part of a naturalistic park from the 19th century, which is falling into ruin more and more. There are decorative stairs leading to this place from the palace. The founders of the palace and park complex were representatives of a wealthy family von Ramin. This brick building was built on the plan of a rectangle. It has two floors and it is covered with a mansard roof. There are representative stairs leading to the building, and by the entrance there are four columns supporting the balcony above. In the central part of the façade there is a triangle pediment with a tympanum presenting a crest of the von Ramin family. Interestingly, after the 2nd World War the national border was marked through the land, which is symbolized by border posts at the driveway. In 1945 the palace was taken over by the Border Troops, and then Border Guards stayed there. In the 70’s of the 20th century the complex was completely renovated. When the Border Guards left the property at the beginning of the 21st century the palace remained in the hands of the Treasury, under the supervision of the Police Prefect. In 2009 the property was given to the University of Szczecin, which unfortunately gave it back to the County Governor's Office in Police. Currently (February 2014) there has been a tender announced regarding the sale of the palace and park complex in Stolec, the total surface area of which is 13.33 ha.

After a fire, which damaged the building in the 14th century, the church was rebuilt in stone. However, over the years, it fell in disrepair in the late 17th century. The church was renovated and expanded in 1725, referring with its form to the Gothic style. During this renovation, a tower was added on the western side of the building. Unfortunately, in the second half of the 19th century, the church was again struck with a fire. After these events, a new tower had to be erected. It was located above the nave and was topped with a sphere on which a cross was situated. In this period, the presbytery was also added on the eastern side of the building. Up to this day, there is a painting from 1858 entitled “Christ speaking with Maria and Marta” (oil on canvass). The building was consecrated as a Roman Catholic church on June 29th, 1947, and since then, each year a church fair has been organized on the anniversary of the event.

“Przełomy” Dialogue Centre – branch of the National Museum in Szczecin
One of the exhibition pavilions of the National Museum in Szczecin dedicated to pivotal moments in the contemporary history of West Pomerania, starting from the incorporation of Szczecin into Poland in 1945.
The Dialogue Center "Przełomy" is located in the immediate vicinity of the Old Town, in an exposed place, next to important monuments - the gothic church of Saints Peter and Paul - one of the oldest churches in Szczecin, the Royal Gate - baroque remains of Prussian fortifications, erected as one of the four entrances to the city by Gerhard Cornelius van Walrave in the years 1734–1738–and the brick police headquarters - a magnificent office building built in the early twentieth century, according to the plans of the Berlin architect Oskar Launer.
The quarter adjacent to the prestigious Royal Square (currently Plac Żołnierza Polskiego), housing the representative building of the Municipal Theater, a classicist work by Carl Ferdinand Langhans from 1845-1849, was marked out in the 1880s, after the liquidation of the ramparts running through this area. After the decision to liquidate the fortress (1873), the arrangement of the tree-lined passage of the Royal Gate was determined by the plan drawn up in 1876-1877 by Konrad Kruhl, which determined the width of Matejki Street (along the former road leading from the Royal Gate) and the course of Małopolska Street.
In the years 1883–1884 a magnificent neo-baroque philharmonic was established here. The first building, shaping the corner of Matejki and Małopolska Streets. Within the regular, rectangular Solidarności Square, a compact complex of four-storey tenement houses, partly with services on the ground floors, is planned.. The buildings were started from the side of the Royal Gate, where two magnificent tenement houses with outbuildings were erected. Their front elevations are decorated with rich, eclectic details: rustication, cornices, panels, pilasters, pediments and brackets - also in the form of caryatids - obtained a distinct vertical division with bay windows, which on the cut corners of the quarter were exposed with turrets dominating over the low surface of the ceramic roof. A similar character was given to the facades of buildings erected in the center of the quarter from the side of Żołnierza Polskiego Square and Małopolska Street in the 1990s, as well as tenement houses built before the First World War from Świętych Piotra i Pawła Street. The latter, however, according to the architectural tendencies of the time, are devoid of fragmented detail and horizontal divisions, but they work with chiaroscuro separation of the body with bay windows, balconies, loggias and gables protruding above the roof surface.. High ground floors with exposed entrance portals housed the seats of prestigious companies, and from the side of the wide, most attractive passageway, also shops and restaurants, which in the summer invited to gardens arranged on a part of the pavement.
During the Second World War, the entire quarter was destroyed as a result of bombing raids. After the rubble was removed, a square was created here, gradually filled with greenery. On three sides, the square is surrounded by rows of linden trees, and the interior is filled with lawns decorated with modest vegetation, among which the old robinia specimen stands out. In the 1960s, a playground with a sandbox and a fishing boat was set up here, which "went down in history" after the events of December 1970, when the workers gathered here, striking against price increases, tried to use it to ram the gates of the nearby police headquarters.
.As a place symbolizing solidarity resistance to the communist authorities, the square became the site of opposition demonstrations. In December 2005, a monument to the victims of December '70 was unveiled from the side of the church - with a cast-iron sculpture of the Angel of Freedom, Czesław Dźwigaj. On August 30, 2013, on the 33rd anniversary of signing the August Agreements, during the official ceremony, the foundation act was laid for the construction of the Dialogue Center "Przełomy". The object is impressive. It is a concrete, undulating slab on Plac Solidarności, which on one side goes down to the level of the road, and on the other, it reaches over the second floor of the police building. It is intended that the roof of the Museum is to be a meeting place for the inhabitants of Szczecin.
Currently, the Dialogue Center "Przełomy" is a multimedia historical museum of war and post-war Szczecin and Western Pomerania, a department of the National Museum in Szczecin. Being both a building and a square, the facility is also a synthesis of the history of the place.
You can get to the Przełomów pavilion from two sides. The entrance from the street is in the only corner - the highest part of the building. The second entrance - from the side of the rising square - the pavilion's roof, is marked with a simple indentation in a smoothly shaped body. The level differences are secured with glass-filled steel barriers, created as a result of the uplift of the square, and then the road leading to the entrance cut out in it. Rotating wall fragments from the corner side, if necessary, "smoothly" close the body of the building, making it an impenetrable and homogeneous whole, or a monolith.  In addition to the implemented general assumptions, what is noticeable is the precise coordination and harmonization of the divisions of the square-building surface with the surrounding pavement and the divisions of composite façade panels. This discipline of the line of cladding joining is to continue in the floors, walls, woodwork divisions and ceilings inside the pavilion.
The aim of the exhibition is to show the breakthrough moments of Pomeranian history, starting with the incorporation of Szczecin into the Polish state as a result of the Potsdam Agreements in 1945, with particular emphasis on the moments of social rebellion (1970, 1981, 1989), which led to Poland regaining sovereignty in 1989. It won't be just a story about what was great - a true story is also a story about people's choices, good and worse. It will be a space for debates between people with different views and memories, unconventional educational projects, and the use of the latest media and multimedia techniques in creating the exhibition.
Currently, in addition to events related to the opening of exhibition expositions, the Center hosts historical debates, museum and history lessons, lectures and conferences, historical performances, competitions for children, workshops, and celebrates anniversaries and promotional campaigns.
