Loitz Tenement is one of Szczecin's most distinctive old-town buildings, a late-Gothic merchant house associated with the wealthy Loitz banking family. Its steep roofline and decorated facade stand out in a city whose historic fabric was heavily damaged and rebuilt.
The building is a quick stop, but a good one. See it while walking between the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle, cathedral, and riverfront, where Szczecin's layered Hanseatic, Prussian, and modern history sits close together.
