Architecture in Kamień Pomorski: a co-cathedral with an organ of 1669, a bishop's palace, an arcaded town hall and three churches of different periods.
Kamień Pomorski was a bishop's seat, so its monuments cluster around Cathedral Square and the Old Market. The selection helps if you want to see Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque on a walk through a small town by the Kamień Lagoon. The remaining addresses are gathered under Kamień Pomorski, and buildings of the region under architecture.
Around Cathedral Square stand the co-cathedral, the bishop's palace and Kleist House. This is the town's most valuable ensemble: together with neighbouring buildings it was declared a Monument of History.
Konkatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela w Kamieniu Pomorskim (St John the Baptist) is a brick basilica in Romanesque and Gothic styles. It was the see of the Kamień bishops and is now a second cathedral of the Szczecin-Kamień archdiocese. Inside are Baroque organs of 1669, covered in more detail in the Kamień organs and organ concerts. Next door, at Cathedral Square 7, stands Pałac biskupi w Kamieniu Pomorskim (Bishop's Palace), a late Gothic house of the old bishops' curia, remodelled in 1568 with Renaissance forms. At number 4 you will find Dom Kleista w Kamieniu Pomorskim (Kleist House), a Baroque manor of the 18th century, the former dean's curia, where Ewald Jürgen von Kleist carried out his capacitor experiment.
It is a Gothic arcaded town hall on the Old Market, rebuilt after 1945. Today it holds the offices of the town authorities, so you view it from outside and from under the arcades.
Ratusz w Kamieniu Pomorskim (Town Hall), according to Wikipedia, was built in the 13th century and slightly altered in the mid-16th, gaining Renaissance features. Town, town hall and tower are all covered in Kamień Pomorski: the town hall, tower, bishop's palace, museums and spa by the Lagoon.
Besides the co-cathedral there are two smaller churches: a Gothic one on Żalnik hill and a Baroque one on Mariańska street. They differ in age, material and former use.
Kościół św. Mikołaja w Kamieniu Pomorskim (Church of St Nicholas), called the church on the hill, stands in the town park on Żalnik hill. It is a Gothic brick church, formerly a cemetery and hospital chapel, which housed the regional museum from 1960 to 1994. Kościół Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Kamieniu Pomorskim (Church of the Assumption) is a Baroque brick building of the mid-18th century, put up on the site of the former Griffin stronghold. Fire destroyed it twice, and across the centuries it has also been a hospital and a stage hall. For the town's beginnings, see Slavic strongholds in West Pomerania.
