Observation tower in Ińsko
The observation tower in Ińsko was built in 2019. It is a steel, openwork structure. It has eight terraces (floors) from which you can admire beautiful views. To reach the top, you have to climb 160 steps or use the elevator. In the evening, the tower is illuminated, which is an additional attraction. Admission is free.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The construction of the church began in the year 1268. Originally a wooden temple, it was later reconstructed with bricks and boulders. In 1863, the church was destroyed in a fire and rebuilt in Gothic revival style.
The church is in the south-eastern part of the city, on the right bank of the Oder River, in the Dąbie estate. Near the church, there is the Domus Shopping Center and the PKO bank. The Płonia river flows about 100 meters from the church.
In 1268, Fr. Herman, the parish priest of Damba parish, started building the church. In 1277, however, the patronage over the parish was assumed by Prince Barnim I. 1534 was a turning point for the Catholic Church. The priests of West Pomerania joined the Protestant faith. For four centuries, until 1945, the church was in the hands of the Protestant inhabitants of the city.
The church was originally wooden. However, the city was developing, and therefore the temples had to be rebuilt. It was built again, but of brick, gothic, with three aisles. In 1983, the building almost completely burned down. In 1866, the reconstruction was completed. The church took on a new, neo-Gothic character. The temple was seriously damaged in March 1945. What has been preserved is the tower and the body of the building and an old wooden crucifix from the 18th century and elements from the 19th and 20th centuries inside. In the years 1973-1985, the temple underwent renovation of its external walls and roof, as well as a major renovation of the tower. The interior has been reconstructed in line with the neo-Gothic style.
The church that has survived to this day has a late gothic character.
Consecrated on August 12, 1945.

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

15th meridian obelisk
The 15th meridian obelisk is a glacial erratic with a network of meridians and parallels on top and a commemorative plate stating that Stargard lies precisely 15 degrees east of the prime meridian in Greenwich. In truth, the obelisk itself stands around 220 m west of the actual 15th meridian as a result of inaccurate measurements taken at the time of its placement.
The monument was erected by the German inhabitants of Stargard before the Second World War. It was renovated in 1966 by its contemporary caretakers – the members of Polskie Towarzystwo Turystyczno-Krajoznawcze (PTTK) [Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society].
The obelisk stands on a stone platform. There is a bench and six chestnut trees nearby.

Amfiteatr w Zieleniewie-Morzyczynie gm. Kobylanka

Amphitheatre
The amphitheatre in Złocieniec is a new facility, built a few years ago under the development plan for the area situated by the Wąsawa River, between Mickiewicza Street and 5 Marca Street. The entire area included in the development plan, including the amphitheatre, is officially called ‘Teren rekreacyjno-sportowy im. Włókniarzy’ [Textile workers recreation and sports area]. The locals usually call it ‘the area between the bridges’. The amphitheatre comprises a roofless stage made of setts and an auditorium with wooden benches. The auditorium was integrated into the natural hill which rises from the river towards Pusta Street. The stage was provided with electrical connections to enable the installation of lighting and sound equipment. During large events and concerts a temporary roof is installed above the stage to provide protection from rain. The amphitheatre of Złocieniec is a site of many cultural and entertainment events, such as: Dni Złocieńca [the Days of Złocieniec], Festyn rodzinny [Family Picnic], Ogólnopolskie Dni Tkaczy [the National Days of Weavers], band and solo singer concerts.  A big asset of the amphitheatre is its beautiful location, practically in the centre of the town. In the vicinity of the amphitheatre there are tennis courts, a basketball court and a playground for children.

Arsenał [The Arsenal]
The Arsenal is a unique building, the only such building preserved in Pomerania. It was erected at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, on a 12,32 x 16,52-m rectangle plan. This two-storey, masonry building is covered with a pitched roof. Its walls are decorated with rhombus stripes– an interesting pattern from ceramic bricks. There are also small widows, which had been laid out in an irregular way, and on the second floor there are six semi-spherical windows.
The arsenal also referred to as armoury, was used for storing battle equipment, for manufacturing and fixing weapons, and for storing the lightweight and heavyweight fighting equipment.
The building had been rebuilt and modernised many times. It had also played different functions, for example in the 19th century, it served as a prison. These days,  a division of the State Archive is located here.
Because of its present function, the building can be visited only after a prior appointment with the archive’s employees.

AZS Szczecin Yacht Club Marina
Located in the southern part of Lake Dąbie, the marina has been operating for 70 years. The AZS Szczecin Yacht Club is the oldest yacht club in Poland. The marina has water and power supply pedestals and a recreational area.
This is one of the few clubs in the harbour area and it has been in operation for almost seventy years. If you can sense the atmosphere of the old club, then you can come close to the spirit of Szczecin sailing. The marina itself offers yachtsmen beautiful green areas and a good stopping location. Berths are located on stable concrete jetties or at a new piers for vessels. They are all are equipped with water and electricity. The marina is fenced off and guarded. There is a tavern within the  hotel, where you can taste good food, eat at budget prices and relax. There is also a sailing workshop and boatyard within the complex. Among the yachts moored in AZS, is one belonging to the yacht club called ‘Nadira’. It is one of the oldest, floating vessels in the country, and and is very well-maintained. This yacht, built in the 1906, is less than 12 meters long.

Basteja w Stargardzie

Baszta Jeńców [Captives Tower]
Baszta Jeńców was part of town’s fortification system. It has the simplest construction of all fortified towers in Stargard. It was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries in Monk and Gothic bond. The tower had crenels (rectangular gaps in the walls and fortified towers). Its 13-meters-high cylindrical shape is based on a stone foundation in which embrasures are located on four levels. It is assumed that the tower’s name derives from the fact that it was used as a prison for captives.
These days, sightseeing tours of the tower’s interiors are not possible, due to their poor technical condition.

Baszta Morze Czerwone [The Red Sea Fortified Tower]
Baszta Morze Czerwone is the tallest fortified tower in Poland. It was erected at the turn of the 15th and the 16th centuries. It has eight storeys which go up to 34 m. The bottom cylindrical part of the construction is designed on the plan of an 8 x 9-m rectangle. It has rhombus ornaments made of ceramic brick. The top part of the tower is polygon-shaped. The gable is covered with a brick, pyramid spire roof. There are multiple embrasures in the tower. In its base, there used to be a dungeon.
The name of the tower refers to the events during the Thirty Years’ War. According to the legend, the building was flooded with the sea of blood. But it is more probable that the name derives from the colour of coppery-red wetland at the foot of the tower.
These days, sightseeing tours of the tower’s interiors are not possible, due to their poor technical condition.

Baszta Tkaczy / Baszta Lodowa [Weavers Tower/ Ice Tower]
It is one of the biggest fortified towers in Poland. It was built in the 15th century. This eight-storey, masonry construction is 31 meters high. Its top part is cylindrical but based on a square foundation. It has two upper parapets with crenels (rectangular gaps in the battlements). The gable is covered with a brick cone, and the façade is ornamented with glazed brick elements.
There used to be a dungeon on the bottom floor of the tower, and the upper rooms served defensive and observation purposes.
The name - Baszta Tkaczy [Weavers Tower], derives from the fact that the weavers’ guild in Stargard looked after the tower. It was also called Baszta Lodowa [Ice Tower] because it was used as an ice warehouse.
These days, sightseeing tours of the tower’s interiors are not possible, due to their poor technical condition.

Brama Pyrzycka [Pyrzycka Gate]
The Pyrzycka Gate was used mainly as a fortified entrance-way to the town. It is the biggest gate which led to the old part of Stargard. From both sides it ended with stone, defence wall. It was created between the 12th century (the stone base) and the 15th century (brick storeys). The gate was built on the plan of an 11 x 11-m square. Its two gables were joined with a pitched roof. The gate has a pointed-arch passageway equipped with metal portcullis. On the third floor, there used to be a parapet wall with embrasures. They were also present in the façade, which was divided by round or pointed-arch, blind windows.
After the war, the gate housed the town museum, and later, the facility was handed over to the  PTTK’s branch [Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society]. Nowadays, it is used as an office of the Chamber of Commerce in Stargard. Sightseeing tours are possible during the working hours of the office after an earlier, telephone appointment.

Castle Cinema
The Zamek Cinema is in the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle in Szczecin in the east wing (entrance A from the large courtyard).
The most convenient way to get there is using public transport, get off at the stop at Żołnierza Polskiego Square, then walk through Kwiatowa Avenue. It is also possible to reach it by car; next to the Castle, at Korsarzy Street, there is a car park (paid, zone A). At approx. 100 m, under the Castle Route, there is a car park for approx. 100 cars.
The Castle Cinema is intimate, comfortable, and cozy. The history of cinema at the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle in Szczecin dates to 1963, when the first equipment was purchased. Since then, it has been constantly developing, starting from investing in modern technologies, ending with comfortable armchairs. The cinema has undergone a process of digitization, screenings in 2D and 3D technology are held here. Both cinema premieres as well as fewer commercial productions are shown.
The cinema is small, the room can seat only fifty people. The unique and pleasant atmosphere mean that the movies are viewed in a much different way. No advertisements displayed before the screening is an additional convenience.
Since 2005, the "Castle" Film Discussion Club has been operating at the cinema. During the meetings, you can meet other enthusiasts of film art, talk, exchange impressions and thoughts on specific productions.
The cinema participates in many projects and is involved in the cultural life of the city. As part of the "Let's talk about the film" series, discussions, and screenings of films in original language versions are organized, which enables learning foreign languages.

Chrobry Embankment
The riverside terraces, built in the early 20th century on the site of the old Leopold Fort, are 500 m long and 19 m high. The Chrobry Embankment is a part of an architectural complex which also includes the National Museum and Contemporary Theatre.
Chrobry Embankment (formerly Hakenterrasse) was built on the site of the former Fort Leopold, which was demolished in the second half of the 19th century. The decision to erect the terraces was made at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the efforts of the then mayor, Hermann Haken. The design of the facility was prepared by the most famous Szczecin architect, Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau. The terraces are 500 meters long and rise 19 meters above the Oder line. It is from here that we can see the islands of Grodzka, Bielawa and Łasztnia, the right bank of the Odra river, its canals and branches.
In the years 1902 - 1907 pavilions on the terraces and stairs were created. On the walls, there are plaques with motifs of marine fauna and flora, and the coats of arms of Szczecin and coastal cities. At the top of the terraces, a walking path lined with trees was created, in the central part, a smaller semicircular terrace was built a little lower, in the center of which there is a sculpture depicting a fight between a man and a centaur by Ludwig Manzl. Below, there is a vast fountain, in front of which two light towers were built, stylized as lighthouses.
The next stage of work on the terraces was the construction of representative public buildings on their top. In the central part, the building of the municipal museum was erected in the years 1908 - 1911, also according to the design of Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau. The official opening of the facility took place on June 23, 1913, it was planned to expand it towards the park located behind the buildings - due to the outbreak of World War I, and as a result of the crisis in Germany, the facility was never completed. Currently, the building houses the National Museum in Szczecin and the stage of the Współczesny Theater.
On the right side of the museum building, according to the design of Paul Kieschke, the building of the then Szczecin district, which today houses the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Office, was built. The building was erected in the years 1906-1912. On the left side of the museum building, two buildings were built: the Social Insurance Institution erected in 1902-1905, according to the design of Emil Drews, and the headquarters of the Supreme Customs Directorate, started by Hinckledeyn and completed at the latest, in 1918-1921 by Osterwold. Today, both buildings are combined into one and it houses the Maritime University.
The terraces survived the war without major losses. After 1945, Polish names were replaced by German ones, a restaurant was created in the basement of the northern pavilion, and wooden buildings of two restaurants were erected at the ends of the alley. After 1989, the elevations of the terraces and buildings of the National Museum and the West Pomeranian Voivodship Office as well as the "lighthouses" were cleaned. The plaque with a dedication to the mayor Hermann Haken was also restored.
The whole thing is one of the most interesting urban assumptions from the beginning of the 20th century in this part of Europe. Moreover, Wały Chrobrego is probably the most famous place of Szczecin in Poland. The building was entered on the provincial list of monuments in December 1996.

Concert shell
The concert shell in the Fryderyk Chopin urban park is a site of many concerts and open-air cultural events organized in Drawsko Pomorskie. The structure has a beautiful location amongst the greenery of the park. In the vicinity there is a playground and sports facilities: Orlik 2012 pitch and municipal tennis courts. The concert shell comprises a one-storey building which houses dressing rooms, social area, a storage room for equipment, and a large covered stage. The construction of the roof above the stage enables installation of stage lighting equipment. There is also room for sound equipment on both sides of the stage. In front of the concert shell there is a vast square with benches for spectators. During big events, such as Dni Ziemi Drawskiej [the Days of Drawsko Land], harvest festivals or Artystyczna Majówka [May Day Picnic with Arts] there are food booths, sales and promotional stands in the square. The facility is owned by the Drawsko Pomorskie Commune and it is used by the cultural centre.

Czerwone Koszary
Czerwone Koszary są największym zespołem koszarowym na Pomorzu Zachodnim. Jest to kompleks budynków wzniesionych w latach 1881-1884 z pieniędzy otrzymanych od Francji jako reparacje wojenne. Trzy monumentalne budynki posiadają szczyty w typie bastionowym i zwieńczone są blankami. Zaprojektował je Emil Drews - szczeciński mistrz budowlany, specjalizujący się w monumentalnych gmachach. Podczas II wojny światowej budynki praktycznie nie ucierpiały. Nazwa koszar pochodzi od czerwonej cegły, z której budynki powstały.
Obecnie Czerwone Koszary użytkowane są przez Wojsko Polskie i zwiedzanie kompleksu od wewnątrz jest niemożliwe.

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.

Former town hall
The original town hall was built at the time of incorporation of the town, i.e. at the beginning of the fourteenth century, and it was situated in the centre of the market square, the present Konstytucji 3-go Maja [Constitution of May 3] Square. Unfortunately the building was completely destroyed as a result of a fire of 1620. The building was reconstructed in 1707. Sadly, 139 years later it was in a very bad technical condition. The building, which was at risk of a collapse, became a subject of serious disagreement between town council members. Some councillors wanted the building to be renovated and adjusted to its purpose anew. Eventually, a decision was made to pull down the old building and transfer the seat of the council to a new residential tenement building acquired in 1837 and situated at 5 Ratuszowa Street. The exact date of construction of the building is unknown. The building served as a town hall until 1945. After the war the building was used for residential purposes. Over the years it had been subject to many conversions and, as a result, it lost its classicistic shape. At the beginning of the twentieth century the building was provided with a staircase in the courtyard. The wooden turret, which did not survive to this day, was probably constructed at the end of the nineteenth century. A major renovation, as a result of which the building lost its original shape, took place in 1957 when the attic was converted into living space and the roof was provided with new extensions. Before 1945 the courtyard included a carriage house and farm outbuildings which were pulled down in the 1970s. Currently the building comprises 7 flats. The main entrance in the form of double doors situated on the west side of the front elevation is worth attention. The jerkin head and gambrel roof and the front elevation with cornices and trapezoidal window heads are also interesting. In 2010 new roofing was installed.

Fryderyk Chopin urban park
The urban park, today named after the prominent Polish composer and pianist Fryderyk Chopin, was founded in the second half of the nineteenth century under the name of ‘Gaj Luizy’ [Luiza’s Grove]. It owes its original name to a princess of Prussia, known for her exceptional beauty, who spent a night in Drawsko while on journey. The official opening of the park took place in 1875. Although a lot of time has passed since its opening, the park still has its original spatial arrangement and the ancient trees which date back to the end of the nineteenth century or the beginning of the twentieth century. The tree species growing in the park include: birch, beech, oak and spruce. The park alleys are guarded by horse chestnut, lime, ash and hornbeam trees. In the park there are also some charming clearings. The largest clearing in the park features a natural monument – a massive, 32 m tall,  pedunculate oak tree whose trunk has a perimeter of 535 cm. In the vicinity of the oak there is a megalith constructed in 2001 – a half-circle made of glacial erratics to commemorate the turn of the millennia.  Underneath one of the rocks a time capsule with various every-day objects (banknotes, newspaper, photographs etc.) was buried.  Another clearing at the park features a  large bed composed of flowers and shrubs, and surrounded by benches. The place is an ideal meeting point and place of rest after a long walk. There are also some sports facilities in the Chopin park, e.g. a tennis court, Orlik sports field, open-air gym and a multipurpose sports field.  In the central point of the park there is an amphitheatre and a large area intended for open-air events.

Harbor Gate
Built in the 1720s, the Baroque gate is one of the two remaining city gates in Szczecin. It is currently the seat of the Chamber Theatre.
The Port Gate is one of the two city gates that have survived from the city's fortification line. The baroque building was erected in 1725-1727 according to the design of the Dutch architect Gerhard Cornelius van Wallrawe.
The outer walls of the monument were decorated with sculptures by the French artist Bartholome Damart. On the one hand, we find a shield with the monogram of King Frederick William, who funded the construction of the building In the upper part of the building there is a gilded inscription in Latin, which proclaims the rights of the Brandenburg State to Pomerania and Szczecin. Above the inscription there is a panorama of the city and the god of the Odra River. Even higher there is an oval shield crowned with a crown with the coat of arms of Prussia.
In the first half of the 20th century, a fountain was built in front of the gate with a Neo-Baroque statue of the goddess Amphitrite. During World War II, the decorations were dismantled and hidden in the Arkona Forest. At the end of the 1950s, the decorations were found and reinstalled on the gate.
The Port Gate was previously known as the Berlin Gate because the road through it led to Berlin. The current name was given in 1945 so that it would not be associated with a German city.
From 1976 to 2013, a Cepelia store operated inside Brama Portowa. Since 2015, the building has been the seat of a chamber theater.
Brama Portowa was entered on the provincial list of monuments in June 1954.

Historical urban plan
The town centre of Drawsko Pomorskie to this day has a well-preserved urban plan with a market square in the very centre. Drawsko obtained municipal rights in 1297 and was founded on a rectangular plan whose dimensions were 500 m x 370 m. The Drawa River crossed the town from the east to the west. The market square was square-shaped with a network of straight streets radiating from the square. In the vicinity of the square there was a church. Originally, the entire town was enclosed by defensive walls reinforced with an embankment system and moats. The defensive walls were 1720 m long. The oldest part of the area in question are the surroundings of the former market square (presently Konstytucji [Constitution] Square) and the late Gothic church. The town had been developing within that area until the middle of the fourteenth century. After 1350 the town had its surface area enlarged by the area between the Drawa River and the artificial channel which was dug to connect the meandering river. The total area reached around 18 ha and was surrounded by a defensive wall in the fourteenth century. Until the middle of the nineteenth century there was the old town hall on the market square. After it had been destroyed as a result of a fire, the seat of the municipal authorities was moved to the residential tenement building from the end of the eighteen century situated at 5 Ratuszowa Street. The residential tenement building survived to this day. On the market square there are still some residential buildings which date back to the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The remaining buildings were constructed in the 1970s.
The current urban plan of the centre of Drawsko Pomorskie has not changed since the Middle Ages. The frontage generally has not changed as well. Most houses have ridge roofs, but some have a gable facing the street. The historical urban plan includes the following streets: Grunwaldzka, Zamkowa, Kilińskiego, Sikorskiego, Jagiellońska, Pocztowa, Obr. Westerplatte, Piłsudskiego, Sybiraków, 11-go Pułku Piechoty and Konstytucji Square. With the exception of a section of Sikorskiego Street, the streets are available to vehicles. Most of the streets are one-way which makes driving around town centre a bit more difficult for visitors. In 1997, during the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of obtaining municipal rights, an obelisk commemorating the event was unveiled at Konstytucji [Constitution] Square. The mayors of the twin towns – Drawsko Pomorskie and Bramstedt planted a ‘Tree of Friendship’. The historical urban plan of Drawsko Pomorskie is protected by law and was listed as a monument in 1956.

Built probably around the year 1462, the Maiden Tower, also known as the Seven Cloaks Tower, is one of the landmarks and symbols of Szczecin.
The Tower of the Seven Coats, also known as the Maiden Tower, is the only tower preserved from the town fortifications. The monument was probably erected before 1462 as a two-story building. At the beginning of the 19th century, the building was not demolished like the other towers, but adapted as utility rooms. After 1850, at the top of the tower, living quarters were added and the tower became an outbuilding of the building at 910 Frauenstraße. The tower survived in this form until 1944, until the Allied bombing. The remains of the ruins of the buildings around the tower were pulled down in 1956, thus revealing the walls of the tower. In the mid-1960s, reconstruction and reconstruction of the damaged parts of the tower were undertaken.
There are two legends associated with the Maiden Tower that explain the name of the monument. The first tells about a wealthy prince who had seven daughters. He wanted to spend each of them for equally wealthy men. Unfortunately, every daughter fell in love with a poor knight. The father decided to teach his disobedient daughters a lesson and ordered them to be locked in the tower until they were wise. As a sign of objection, they had to sew black coats that they wore day and night. Months passed, then years, one day it was noticed that the food that was being inserted through the crack in the wall was not taken away.  The frightened prince ordered the walls of the tower to be torn open, when it turned out that no one was inside. Except for the hanging coats. From now on, the tower is called the Tower of the Seven Cloaks, or the Maiden Tower, and what happened to the unhappily enamored daughters of a wealthy prince? Nobody knows to this day.
The second legend tells about the court tailor of prince Bogusław X. The prince, going on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, ordered seven coats to be sewn from a very rare and expensive material. The tailor did as instructed, but he carved the coats so cleverly that he had a few scraps of cloth left. The case came to light when the prince saw a woman in the street in a dress made of the same material as his coats. It quickly turned out to be the tailor's wife. As a punishment, the dishonest craftsman was locked in the tower, which from then on bears the names mentioned above.
Two legends, unfortunately, most likely miss the real source of the name of the tower. According to historians, it was the tailors' guild that funded the construction of the facility, and they were also supposed to defend it in the event of a siege.
The Tower of Seven Coats was entered on the provincial list of monuments in June 1954.

Maritime Science Center
The Maritime Science Center, located on Łasztownia Island opposite the Chrobry Embankment, offers interactive exhibitions that stimulate the senses and gaining new experiences. Although the overall theme of the facility is the sea, the science center also offers educational activities in other natural sciences.

Maritime University of Szczecin
Opened in 1947, the Maritime University continues the tradition of maritime schools in Szczecin. In 1968, the university moved to the historic building on the Chrobry Embankment.
The first building on the left is actually two buildings merged into one. The first part of today's Maritime Academy was erected in the years 1902-1905 according to the design of Emil Drews. The building with a plastered façade is decorated with vases on the top. The building was designed as the seat of the National Social Insurance Institution. The building has four wings, among which a courtyard was created. Some of the rooms were intended for offices and corporate flats. The representative staircase has survived to the present day in its original state.
The second part of the building was designed in 1912 by K. Hinckeldeyn. Its construction lasted until 1921. The red brick building has many interesting sandstone sculptures on the facade. The building was erected as the seat of the Supreme Customs Directorate. Both buildings were erected in the North German Renaissance style, and their shape was to refer to the building of the Szczecin regency located on the other side of the terraces.
The Maritime University has been operating in the buildings since 1968. At its back there is a sculpture depicting a bust of a fisherman - if we come to the academy's fence from Jarowita Street, we should see the bust. The sculpture was still in the main hall of the university in the 1960s.
The building of the Maritime University was entered on the provincial list of monuments in December 1996.
School
The Maritime University of Szczecin is a state technical university. It continues the traditions of maritime education, existing since 1947, maritime schools in Szczecin. The university trains officer cadres: navigators and mechanics, meeting the requirements of the modern transport and fishing fleet, as well as operating ship and port services of the sea and inland fleet. The Academy educates at three faculties (Navigation, Mechanical and Transport Engineering and Economics) on engineering, master's and doctoral studies in Polish and English. In the maritime economy, it is a renowned scientific unit, especially in the field of maritime traffic engineering.

Metzler Villa
The building was erected in 1906 as a residential building intended for the Otto family and Elisabet Metzler. It was designed by Walter Gropius. In his design, he used a construction method popular for the region – frame construction of the upper parts of gable walls and extensions. An entirely new idea produced by Gropius was the construction of the roof whose slopes cover a large part of the elevations but rise at the ends providing a cover for open terraces. The windows in the elevation are also quite innovative – although they are all rectangular, their dimensions differ dramatically. Some of them were installed vertically, the others horizontally. Until 1945 the house was owned by the Metzler family. After the Second World War the house was subject to renovation to satisfy the needs of its occupants. The terrace on the north side was converted into a bathroom, while the one on the south side was converted into a car garage. Since 1946 two German women had lived in the house that moved out to Germany in 1955. Then, the building was taken over by the Treasury. It served as a seat of Słupska Fabryka Mebli [Furniture Factory of Słupsk] – the villa housed company flats of the director and deputy director. In the 1970s the factory was taken over by Koszalińska Fabryka Mebli [Furniture Factory of Koszalin], and in the 1980s it became an independent branch: Drawska Fabryka Mebli [Furniture Factory of Drawsko]. At the end of the 1990s the building was taken over by Przedsiębiorstwo Przeróbki Mechanicznej Węgla Biskupice Sp. z o.o. [Biskupice Mechanical Processing of Coal Company] from Zabrze. Currently the villa comprises private flats. It is surrounded by a small garden and a park which harmonizes well with the Chopin Park situated on the other side of the river. Today the Metzler Villa is in a poor technical condition and requires extensive renovation.

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 Jan of Kolno
Jan z Kolna is an interesting person around whom many legends have arisen. One of them claims that he arrived in America before Columbus as an envoy of the Danish king Christian I Oldenburg. Reportedly, he landed on the Labrador Peninsula and was also looking for treasure in the vicinity of present-day Boston, but unfortunately there is no evidence of this. It is also not entirely certain whether the sailor existed at all and whether he came from Poland. However, many historians believe that the existence of the character is an indisputable fact. The sculpture dedicated to the sea sailor was erected in 1976. It was designed and made by Stanisław Lewiński. The sculpture is 230 cm high. Artificial stone was used to create it.

Monument to Kornel Ujejski
Kornel Ujejski was born in Podole in Beremie, but quickly moved to Lviv. He traveled a lot, thanks to which he met Juliusz Słowacki, Joahim Lelewel, and Fryderyk Chopin, with whom he made friends. Kornel Ujejski is considered an outstanding poet of romanticism and an activist for the liberation of Poland from partitions. In addition to his bust, on a beautiful monument from 1901 there is also a lyre with torn shackles, which symbolizes the superiority of poetry over captivity. There is an inscription "Chorał" next to it. It refers to one of the artist's most popular poems. The author talks about the peasant uprising in 1846 and the so-called Galician slaughter. The poem mentions fratricidal fights and the conflict between the peasants and the nobility instigated by the Austrians. One can feel regret and faith in him, saying that even though the nation is suffering from historical injustice, it still believes in God. On the back of the monument there is an inscription "Be happy my nation". The monument came to Szczecin from Warsaw, where it was transferred from the Eastern Borderlands.

Municipal tennis courts in the Chopin Park
The municipal courts in Drawsko Pomorskie are situated within the area of the urban park, and they are surrounded by beautiful scenery. Tall trees with broad crowns make shadows during hot summer days and protect against the wind, while the green shrubs provide a nice background for a match of tennis. The vicinity of the Drawa River makes the location of the courts even more attractive. The courts were built in the 1930s and function to this day. The last extensive modernization of the facility took place in 2004. Currently the facility has two courts with clay surface and a tennis masonry practice wall. The courts are 23.77 m long and  8.23 m wide (singles match) or 10.97 m (doubles match). The facility is illuminated which enables matches to be played after dark. The courts feature PVC lines that indicate the area of the court, the place for players and supporters. The facility is fenced and the tall fencing features tarpaulin in contrasting colours which increases the visibility of the ball during the game. Moreover, there is a light container building which houses a changing room, storage room and toilets. The courts are available to everyone. They are managed by the ‘AS’ Tennis Association of Drawsko. In the vicinity there is ‘Słoneczna’ café, a car park and tables and benches under wooden roofing.

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.

Palace under the Globe
The Baroque palace in Orła Białego Square is currently the seat of the Academy of Art. It is also used as the venue for exhibitions, concerts, and other cultural events open to the public.
The Palace under the Globe was built in the years 1724-1725. It was designed by Piotr de Montarque from Languedoc in France. His associate was Filip Gerlach, who was an architect and founder of numerous churches in Potsdam and Berlin. The decorations were made by Johann Georg Glum (the royal court artist). The building was made in the baroque style. The materials used in its creation were stone and brick.

Park pałacowy
Park pałacowy w Ziemsku to klasyczny przedstawiciel stylu angielskiego, o funkcji krajobrazowej. Charakteryzuje się naturalistyczną formą oraz swobodną kompozycją.
Park powstał w pierwszej połowie XIX wieku, a następnie pod koniec tego wieku został rozbudowany, dzięki czemu aktualny jego obszar to 7,5 ha.
Park odznacza się czytelnym układem, oddzieloną od gęstego starodrzewia polaną oraz brakiem typowo ogrodowej infrastruktury, co jest typowe dla ogrodu angielskiego. Roślinność terenu jest bardzo urozmaicona, występuje tu dużo gatunków krzewów (ok. 30) i drzew (ok. 35). Drzewostan określa się jako mieszany, lecz dominują tu drzewa iglaste, głównie wiązy i świerki. Ciekawym okazem jest rosnąca w centralnej części parku choina kanadyjska, będąca uznana za pomnik przyrody. Obwód drzewa wynosi 285 cm a wysokość 16 m. Na terenie parku rośnie także drugi okaz pomnikowy jakim jest okazały dąb szypułkowy.
W 1945 roku, po zakończeniu II wojny światowej, tereny rolne majątku Ziemsko przetworzono na PGR a sam park został włączony do lasów Nadleśnictwa Drawsko. W latach dziewięćdziesiątych zaprzestano uprawy gruntów co korzystnie wpłynęło na gospodarkę wodną terenu. Brak konserwacji systemu melioracyjnego doprowadził do utworzenia płytkiego zbiornika wodnego niedaleko parku, który aktualnie w połączeniu z leśnymi warunkami obok jest domem dla blisko 40 gatunków ptaków. Spacerując parkiem oraz pobliskimi terenami można zaobserwować między innymi: bociany, łabędzie, bieliki, dzięcioły, gągoły i wiele innych ptaków bytujących tam na stałe lub jedynie w okresie lęgowym.
Przez teren parku poprowadzona jest popularna ścieżka przyrodnicza "Park Ziemsko - Zalewy Studnickie". Jest to bardzo łatwy i przyjemny szlak, przeznaczony dla osób chcących spędzić aktywnie czas, lecz bez większego wysiłku fizycznego, zalecana także dla osób spacerujących z dziećmi. Ścieżka została utworzona w 2004 roku przez Nadleśnictwo Drawsko w głównym przeznaczeniu dla uczniów okolicznych szkół, aby móc prowadzić lekcje przyrody i biologii w terenie. Jej łączna trasa wynosi 2 km i szacowany czas przejścia to niespełna godzina.
Początek trasy wyznaczony jest na parkingu w Ziemsku, gdzie znajduje się pierwsza tablica informacyjna z mapą terenu. Przez ok. 1,2 km trasa wiedzie przez park a przez resztę wokół zalewu. Wycieczka kończy się na wieży widokowej nad zalewem, gdzie także jest umieszczona tablica informacyjna.

Piwnica przy Krypcie Theater
The Piwnica przy Krypcie Theater is in the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle in Szczecin.
The "Piwnica przy Krypcie" theater was established in 2015 after the modernization of the Northern Wing of the Castle, combining the historical scenes of the Castle into one theater space: Krypta Theater (which operated from 1965) and the Piwnica przy Krypcie cabaret stage (which existed since 1990).
The new Piwnica przy Krypcie Theatre is the smallest professional and alternative stage in Szczecin, a lively and original theater. An unusual place for acting initiatives, which is a unique artistic space on a national scale. Its atmosphere is created by the intimate gothic interiors of the castle vaults, creating a unique and exceptional atmosphere of "cellar" performances. Evenings, cabaret and drama performances, concerts and recitals are held there. The artistic team consists of outstanding actors of Szczecin theaters. The theater audience can accommodate up to 50 people. Since 2015, Paweł Niczewski has been the artistic director of the theater selected from the competition.
Thanks to the presentation of a wide spectrum of theatrical genres, from drama to comedy, the repertoire of the theater is an excellent proposition for a large audience.
Theatrical improvisation is the art of creating comedy scenes (short and long theater forms) without any prior preparation. Scenes are largely based on the suggestions of the audience, which enables creating unique, interactive shows.

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.

Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle
Dating back to 1364, the castle underwent multiple renovations and expansions over the centuries. It sustained significant damage as a result of bombing in 1944, but it was later rebuilt. The castle is now the seat of various cultural institutions.
To get to the castle, you need to choose trams or buses that will take us to "Wyszyńskiego" stop. Then you turn into Księcia Mściwoja II which will turn into Panieńska, after less than 100 meters you turn left into Kuśnierska – you are at the castle.
The Renaissance Pomeranian Dukes' Castle was erected on the castle hill and in the past, it was the seat of the Gryfit family. Even in the first half of the 12th century, there was a Slavic stronghold on the hill. In 1124, duke Warcisław I erected the first brick building, i.e., the duke's house, in the northern part of the hill. When in 1235 prince Barnim I decided to move the capital of the West Pomeranian Duchy from Usedom to Szczecin, it was decided to expand the building, but the house of Warcisław I was most likely demolished and new buildings were built in its place.
However, the origins of today's castle should be traced back to 1346, when Barnim III started constructing the so-called Stone house. The chapel of St. Otto and the so-called large house with a prison tower. The decision to build is the result of a dispute between the prince and the townspeople who chased away Barnim III's carpenters earlier. In August 1346, the bishop of Kamień Johann I and the Pomeranian prince Bogusław V decided that Barnim III could have his castle on the same rights as his ancestors, and that the inhabitants of Szczecin were to build a new house and a chapel. The new manor house was in the place of the present northern wing, and to the west of the building there was the church of St. Otto, where the first Gryfit burial crypt was. In 1428, the house was enlarged - then the southern wing was built. At the end of the fifteenth century, the so-called Big House was constructed, where Prince Bogusław X was to live together with his wife, the daughter of Kazimierz Jagiellończyk - Anna née Jagiellon. In 1491, the wedding reception of this princely couple was held within the walls of the new house. 40 years later, in 1530, a fire broke out that greatly damaged the Big House.
After the fire, a decision was made to rebuild the castle. The works lasted 7 years - during the time, the stone house was converted into a two-story building in the Renaissance style, with a gable roof and a clock tower. The eastern wing was also added. In 1573 - 1582, at the request of prince Jan Fryderyk, another reconstruction of the building was made. During the modernization, the stone house and the chapel were demolished. The courtyard was closed by the addition of the northern and western wings, and the eastern wing was also raised. The works were completed in 1583. In the 17th century, during the times of Philip II and Francis I, a fifth wing, the so-called Mint, was added thanks to which a small courtyard was created. Bogusław XIV died in 1637 - the prince did not have male heirs, so after his death the castle was taken over by the Swedes, who appeared in Pomerania in 1630. In 1705, the Queen of Poland, Katarzyna Leszczyńska, moved to the castle in Szczecin, and six years later King Stanisław Leszczyński also appeared there. In 1720, after the end of the Northern War, Szczecin was taken over by Prussia, and the castle became the seat of the garrison commander. During the Prussian period, the building was rebuilt many times to adapt it to the needs of the garrison located there. During the works, many decorations were removed, cloisters were demolished, and staircases and corridors were built up. The garrison was in the castle until 1902, after being abandoned, the building fell into disrepair. Renovation works to be restored with the sarcophagi of Pomeranian dukes. In 1948, archaeological work began in the courtyard. From 1958 to 1980, the castle was rebuilt. In 1973, the south wing and the clock tower were rebuilt, and in 1979 the clock mechanism was restored. During the works, the building was restored to its Renaissance appearance, but not much of the original equipment has survived. However, there are gothic vaults in the basement and frescoes in the clock tower. Under the northern wing are the remains of the chapel of St. Otto, the crypt discovered after the war is open to the public, and the prince's ashes were deposited in the cathedral of St. James. Currently, the castle is the seat of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Board, the cultural center "Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes", the "Castle" cinema, which was established in 1963 and which was modernized in 2006, the Krypta Theater and the Piwnica przy Krypcie cabaret operate there. The castle also houses the Castle Opera (currently under renovation), which was moved to the castle in 1978 from the militia club at Potulicka. There are also two restaurants within the castle walls - "Zamkowa" and "Na Kuncu Korytarza". In addition, you will also find a Cultural and Tourist Information Center at the castle.
In April 2005, "Modernization and restoration of the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle" was launched. During the task, the roof and part of the façade were renovated, the open-air stage and the central heating installation in the western, Mint, and southern wings were modernized. The works were completed in September 2006, their total cost was PLN 5.3 million, including PLN 3.5 million from European Union funds.
The remaining elevations were renovated in 2006-2007, the cost of the works was PLN 2.3 million. A year later, in 2008, the roofing, lighting and sound system for the "Under the Cloister" stage were made, and, after receiving funding from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the castle was illuminated. In 2008, the Registry Office, located in the southern wing of the castle, was renovated. The wedding hall was repainted, some furniture was renovated, and the room was adapted to the needs of the disabled. Also in the same year, the rooms of Prince Barnim and Duchess Mirosława were renovated, with Gdansk furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Currently, the eastern wing is available to visitors in the castle, which houses the castle museum and the gothic gallery, ticket prices are 4 zlotys for discounted, 5 zlotys for normal, 5 zlotys for normal group and 2 zlotys for school groups. In June 2012, the Hall of Witches was opened at the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle, where we will learn the history of Sydonia von Borck and the Lubinus Cabinet, we will find the Great Map of the Pomeranian Duchy with a family tree of Pomeranian dukes, made by Eilhardus Lubinus in 1610-1618.
The building was entered on the provincial list of monuments in April 1955.

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 defence walls
The defence walls in Stargard are part of the biggest and the most interesting fortification complex in Poland. Their creation started after Stargard had been granted town privileges. Until the 13th century, Stargard had been fortified with wood-and-land ramparts, which at the end of the century were transformed into stone walls which were almost 8 meters high. At the turn of the 15th and the 16th centuries, the walls had been expanded and reinforced with moats and embankments. During that period, 45 lookout towers, 9 fortified towers and additional 2 gates were built. The total length of the fortifications was almost 2260 m. Only 1040 meters of the wall, 3 town gates and 4 towers have been preserved to date. The fragment which has been best preserved is located between the Pyrzycka Gate and the Bastion near Baszta Tkaczy [The Weavers Tower].  Visitors can also climb the reconstructed hoarding – a walking path along the wall (the entrance is in Muzeum “Basteja” [the “Bastion” Museum].

The Monument Of Bogusław X And His Wife Anna Jagiellonka
The monument was made by Leonia Chmielnik and Anna Paszkiewicz. They are also the authors of the Griffon standing in front of the building of the City Hall. The sculptures made by the artists are usually of austere form – in this case it is similar. The monument was unveiled in 1974. It represents a ducal couple, probably on day of their wedding, which is suggested by an inscription located on the pedestal. Bogusław X passed as a wise ruler, due to which he gained the appellation “Great”. He was, however, a 37-year-old widower before finding his second love. Marrying him, Anna Jagiellonka was, in turn, very young (she was 15 years old). This did not prevent her from building a durable and indissoluble bond with her husband. Their marriage was a symbol of tightening of bonds between Poland and Pomerania. The material used to make the work was yellow sandstone.

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 town hall
The town hall in Złocieniec is located at the market square and was built between 1833 and 1863 on the site of earlier structures performing the same function. The building, which You can see today, was built due to the efforts of Charles Lentz, the then mayor of the town. The building was originally the seat of the town council, the court and the registrar.  The building was rebuilt before World War 1, the result of which was the coat of arms of Złocieniec visible today on the front wall of the town hall. It depicts a white castle with two towers and the falcon above them on a blue background. Army authorities and Secret Political Police Station had their seats in the building after the war, but it was a temporary situation and the hall again became the seat of municipal authorities - the function it still performs.
The town hall is a building built on a rectangular plan, and has two storeys divided by cornices. It is covered by a hipped roof with a few skylights. Some bossages are visible at the corners. The main entrance to the building is from the east, several-step stairs lead to it. There is a flat risalit in the middle, topped with a semi-circular projection with the coat of arms of the town in its centre. There is an outhouse with a semicircular roof in the north-eastern part.
The building is now home to the Town Hall, so entering it by visitors is limited.

The Town Hall
Town Hall - the symbol of Stargard, can be found on many photographs of and postcards from this town. It is a Gothic-style building, erected in 1250. Initially, it was a masonry hall, which was used as a merchant’s house. For many years, it was used by merchants, judges and members of local governments. The characteristic features of the building are: pointed-arch windows, blind windows and tracery on the western gable. The building is covered with a pitched roof. It suffered from serious damage during the fire in 1540. Later, in the second half of the 16th century it was rebuilt. During the WWII, almost 80% of the building was damaged, but the building managed to survive till 1961. In 2000, a clock was added to the front part of the hall, and in the same year, the town’s bugle call was introduced. Since then, it has been played at 12.00 every single day. It is worth noticing that the town hall in Stargard is the only town hall in Pomerania with no arcades.
In 2013, the Town Hall underwent complete renovation. The roof, façade and window frames were all replaced with new ones. The interiors were also modernised. Nowadays, the Town Hall houses the office of the Town Council, and its basement is occupied by Stargard’s Scout Team and by Piwnica Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Stargardu [Stargard’s Fans Society Basement].

TWORZĘ SIĘ (galeria sztuki dla dzieci i młodzieży)

West Pomeranian Voivodeship Office
The main designer of the building was the Berlin architect Paul Kieschke, but after his death in 1905, the building was completed by Paul Lehmgrübner. Construction began in 1906, and the whole building was put into operation in 1911. The architecture of the building refers to the North German Renaissance. There are five wings, two inner courtyards and two towers - one of them is topped with a sailor's sculpture. The north tower, also known as the meteorological tower, is 75.8 meters high. At its top there is a spire with a wind rose. South tower, the so-called the tower with the sailor is more than 10 meters higher and 86.6 meters.
The building was designated for the office of the Szczecin Region. In part of the building there were official flats, as well as offices of the Maritime Office, Lloyd's Agency, Port Police and the Hydroengineering Office. The building survived almost intact during the air raids of World War II. Many of the rooms in the office have retained their original decor. In front of the main entrance to the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Office, there is a portico with columns. The entrance will lead us to the main, most representative hall, where we find a huge column and an interestingly decorated vault. The original floor is on the ground floor, and the historic door woodwork has been preserved throughout the building. In some rooms - incl. in the voivode's office - pre-war furniture has been preserved.
Interesting architectural details can be found in the northern part of the building, which was once occupied by "maritime" institutions, incl. nautical accents on the balustrade of the staircase, allegorical heads of sailors and fishermen - this is the only place inside the office where such heads appear, other sculptures of this type can be found on the external facade of the building. In addition, in the hall under the sailor, we can find several dozen bas-reliefs. They were most likely backup sculptures, but their history was never fully explained.
After 1945, the building was taken over by the Polish municipal authorities, headed by the first president of post-war Szczecin, Piotr Zaremba. It was he who ordered the Polish flag to be displayed on the building on April 30th. After the office was created in the building, it was decided to repaint the walls of the building in an "official" uniform color. Work has been underway for several years to restore the original design of the ZUW. Discovered and renovated, among others an impressive column in the customer service room and decorative German inscriptions that remind of the historical functions of the building.
In the first years after the end of World War II, the marina at Wały Chrobrego and the buildings that dominated it were to create the "sea Szczecin". It was in the building of the West Pomeranian Voivodship Office that the most important meetings were held and the most important decisions were made regarding the reconstruction and function of the port, and the creation of the Polish commercial, coastal and fishing fleet.
An interesting fact that has stimulated the imagination of the inhabitants for years is the legend about the alleged buried corridor in the basement of the office, which was supposed to lead to the other side of the Oda - under the river, of course. The facility also includes the so-called "Khrushchevka" - where does the term come from? From the name of the Secretary General of the CPSU, Nikita Khrushchev, who in 1959, during his visit to Szczecin, lived in the southern part of the building.
Since 2011 - on the occasion of the centenary of the facility - the building has been open to tourists. There are three routes for tourists. The first route leads through the office tower, it is during this trip that you can see the panorama from the north tower, see the "sculpture warehouse" mentioned above. The second route runs through the most important rooms of the building. Tour participants can see, among others conference rooms with preserved, over a hundred years old equipment, the Knight's Hall with an original parquet floor and a honeycomb ceiling, and the voivode's office.

Łasztownia Island in Szczecin
The name Łasztownia (Latin Lastadia) derives from the Latin words lastagium, lestagium, lastadium. They determined the weight of the load. In the 14th century, laszt (last) became a commonly used measure of cargo carried by ships. It was also used to provide quantities of loose goods, mainly grains.
Knowing the etymology of the name, it is easy to guess its purpose. However, it was used for port purposes from 1283. Originally, the island was much smaller. It can be said that it was a coastal clump opposite the present Long Bridge.
Today's Łasztownia was situated on the route leading from Dąbie to Szczecin. In the aforementioned 1283, Szczecin acquired the rights to the island. The purchase was dictated by the dynamically developing commercial port and the related increased movement of goods. The city needed new land for expansion. Wooden quays and platforms for loading and unloading goods were built on the island. There were also a loading crane, granaries and warehouses for other goods.
The further dynamic development of the port resulted in the occupation of another island. The fourteenth-century springs already refer to all the islands north of Parnica as Łasztownia. Individual areas of Łasztownia were specified, with the name of the plant added to the main one, e.g. Łasztownia Shipyard built in 1500 (schippbuwer lastadie). In the 17th century, Łasztownia was considered a strategic point, and therefore it was surrounded by earth ramparts. They were built along the present Gdańsk Boulevard and Władysława IV Street. In 1727, stone gates were built: Parnicka and Kozia. In the nineteenth century, the fortifications were deemed unnecessary and were therefore pulled down.
The currently preserved street layout dates from the first half of the 18th century and is associated with the reorganization of the Łasztownia area during the reign of the Prussian king Frederick William I. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, most of the 18th-century buildings were replaced with new, Art Nouveau buildings. Due to the housing hunger, tenement houses for workers were built on the hitherto port island. Factories and production plants were also built, such as a sugar factory (currently Przedsiębiorstwo Przemysłu Cukierniczego "Gryf" S.A.).
During the Second World War, Łasztownia was bombed during regular Allied air raids (1942-1944). After the war, Łasztownia was dynamically developed by companies related to the sea. They have their headquarters here, among others Polska Żegluga Morska, Żegluga Szczecińska or the Customs Office. Some of the buildings created during the construction boom are currently empty. They attract cultural events such as outdoor performances and music festivals.

“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.
