Loitz Tenement

The Loitz family tenement house dating back to the 16th century represents the style of late Baroque and is one of the few examples of the former type of middle-class architecture in Szczecin. It has original, sloping windows at the staircase and a tracery decoration that refers to the decorations of the nearby Ducal Castle. Attention is drawn by a copy of the 16th-century relief "Conversion of Saint Paul", embedded to the eastern facade.

The tenement house had been built by the bankers of the Loitz family, and then taken over by the Pomeranian dukes. After the fall of the duchy, it had various owners - there used to be situated, among others, the headquarters of the Swedish councillor Rosenhandt, patisserie "Dwór Szwajcarski" founded by the Dubendorf brothers, and rented apartments. It was in this last period when the devastation of the building had began, which lasted until the World War II. The house was rebuilt only in the 1950s. Currently, the State High School of Fine Arts is located there.
