Nice building. Worth seeing

The Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas is one of Szczecin's newest sacred buildings – and at the same time the first Orthodox church built from scratch in Pomerania. Construction began in 2003, financed almost entirely by community members and believers from abroad. The church stands on the ground plan of a Greek cross and was consecrated in 2011. Its bright dome and the clear, modern interpretation of Orthodox architecture make it a striking point in the cityscape. It is a quiet, easily accessible stop that offers an exciting insight into Szczecin's religious diversity.

The main building of the Szczecin University of Technology and Maritime Affairs is one of Szczecin's most characteristic edifices, located at Wały Chrobrego with a view of the Oder River. The complex consists of two monumental buildings erected at the beginning of the 20th century – one was built for the insurance office, and the other for the customs directorate. They represent the styles of late historicism, neo-baroque, and North German Renaissance. The brick facade, ornate gables, turrets, and rich architectural details make the building look more like an administrative palace than a university. Since 1963, it has housed a maritime school, which later became the Maritime Academy, and today the University of Technology and Maritime Affairs. The edifice is one of Szczecin's symbols and an important element of the Wały Chrobrego panorama.

The view of Szczecin's old town is particularly worthwhile in the morning sun.

In summer, a ride on the Ferris wheel is worthwhile. The current price is 40 PLN for an adult.

The monument stands on the waterfront promenade on the Oder and commemorates the sculptor and sailor Kasiierz Siegfried Haska.

The monumental building of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Office is one of the most recognizable and representative buildings in Szczecin. The neo-Renaissance complex of buildings was built according to the concept of Paul Kieszke and the design of Lehmgrübner in the years 1906-1911. The main central building consists of five wings, with two rectangular courtyards inside. It has two towers with a height of approx. 60 m. The southern one is topped with a helm with the figure of a sailor leaning on an anchor. The northern one, called the sailor's tower, was used to hang navigation signs until the last war, and the ball falling at high noon signaled the crews of ships in the port exactly 12:00. In the southern tower with the sailor crowning it, plaster casts of all the carved details of the facade were placed, in case they had to be recreated due to destruction. The architecture of the building, including its exterior design, has survived virtually unchanged to this day.
