Things to do in Śródmieście-Północ, Szczecin: the philharmonic hall, Jasne Błonia park, the puppet theatre and villas on Wojska Polskiego Avenue.
Śródmieście-Północ combines cultural institutions, the green Jasne Błonia and stately villas along one of the city's main avenues. It suits both an evening in a concert hall and a calm walk, and some stops are so close that they fit into one hour.
To the philharmonic hall or to the puppet theatre. Both work in new buildings, and both offer shelter from the rain.
The Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic moved in 2014 into a white building on Małopolska Street, on the site of the old Konzerthaus. Concerts take place in the symphonic hall and in the chamber one. The Pleciuga Puppet Theatre is a municipal institution with a repertoire for children, active since 1958 and, since 2009, housed on Plac Teatralny. The square itself, named in 2008, has the theatre in its middle.
Four entries on the list are monuments, and three of them are villas on Wojska Polskiego Avenue. People usually look at them from the pavement, as several house schools.
The August Horn Villa at number 70 is a half-timbered house from 1871-1872, one of three surviving wooden residential houses in the city centre. At number 76 stands the Hoerder Villa, eclectic, from 1896-1897, now a secondary school. Further on stands the Lentz Villa at number 84, neo-Baroque, from 1888-1889. After renovation it is a municipal cultural institution with exhibitions and tours of the interiors. On Szymanowskiego Street stands the Szczecin City Hall, a building from 1924-1927 with a green facade, once the seat of the Province of Pomerania. The page of historic buildings in Śródmieście-Północ lists them all.
Jasne Błonia is a wide green space with maple-leaved plane trees, laid out in the 1920s, that links the district with the park. Here stands the John Paul II monument from 1995, commemorating the pope's Mass of 1987. At Plac Szarych Szeregów is the monument to Marshal Piłsudski with a bronze bust from 2000. Among churches there is the Church of the Holy Family, modernist, made of concrete, built in 1929-1931 as a Protestant church.
In Kasprowicz Park stands the Hungarian Boy Monument. It was unveiled in December 2016 to thank a Hungarian district for help given in 1956. It is a memorial site, so keep to a quiet tone when visiting.
