Villas in West Pomerania: historic villas of Pogodno and Aleja Wojska Polskiego in Szczecin, plus a villa that serves as the town hall in Dębno.
This is a list for people who like architecture from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries: Art Nouveau, Eclecticism and Neo-Baroque. Almost all the villas lie in Szczecin, mainly in Pogodno and along Aleja Wojska Polskiego, so they are easy to see on a single walk.
Aleja Wojska Polskiego is the main villa axis of Szczecin. Starting in Śródmieście-Północ, you reach the Willa Augusta Horna (August Horn Villa) at number 70, a half-timbered villa raised in 1871-1872, one of three wooden homes still standing in the city centre. Number 76 is the Willa Hoerdera w Szczecinie (Hoerder Villa), an Eclectic building from 1896-1897, now a secondary school. A few steps further, at number 84, is the Willa Lentza, Aleja Wojska Polskiego 84 w Szczecinie (Lentz Villa): a Neo-Baroque factory owner's villa from 1888-1889, now a city-run cultural institution where you see exhibitions and interiors.
Further on, in Łękno, at number 115 stands the Willa Georga Grawitza w Szczecinie (Georg Grawitz Villa), an Eclectic villa of 1897-1898, adorned by a sundial and by a cartouche with a ship under sail; a music school has occupied it since 1951. In Pogodno, at number 160, you will find the Willa Martina Quistorpa w Szczecinie (Martin Quistorp Villa) from 1899, entered in the register of monuments, and at number 164 the Willa Wegnera w Szczecinie (Wegner Villa), Neoclassical with a Doric portico, now home to a private secondary school.
Pogodno is a villa district with the most addresses on this list: six. On Ludwika Solskiego Street stand two neighbouring villas. The Willa Krahnstöver w Szczecinie (Krahnstöver Villa) at number 3 is an Art Nouveau house from 1902, built for the merchant Eduard Julius Krahnstöver and restored in 2011. On the other side, at number 4, is the Willa przy ul. Solskiego 4 w Szczecinie (villa at Solskiego 4), a brick villa of 1900-1902, entered in the register in 2014.
On Marii Konopnickiej Street 27 stands the Willa Hermana Schultza w Szczecinie (Herman Schultz Villa) from 1902, on a large plot, designed by Paul Krekow. The Willa przy ul. Józefa Hoene-Wrońskiego 1 w Szczecinie (villa at Józefa Hoene-Wrońskiego 1) from 1910-1911 is today the seat of the city library's management. All the villas of the city are on Wille: Szczecin.
On the right bank of the Oder, in Dąbie, at Żaglowa 2 stands the Willa Borchert w Szczecinie (Borchert Villa), a historic villa of 1916-1917, the former seat of the Scout Maritime Centre, now in poor condition. A similar fate met the Willa dyrektorska Pomorskiej Fabryki Szamotu w Szczecinie (Director's Villa of the Pomeranian Chamotte Factory) in Podjuchy, destroyed in a fire in 2022. Check the state of both buildings before a trip to the right bank.
Outside Szczecin the only example is the Ratusz w Dębnie (willa Neumanna) (Town Hall in Dębno): an Eclectic villa of 1905 with a dome over the front projection, entered in the register of monuments and today serving as the town hall.
You can tour the interiors of the Lentz Villa at Aleja Wojska Polskiego 84, which after renovation operates as a municipal cultural institution with exhibitions. Other villas serve as schools and offices, so you will usually not see inside.
Most addresses are in Pogodno (six) and along Aleja Wojska Polskiego in Śródmieście-Północ (three).
The August Horn Villa at Aleja Wojska Polskiego 70, half-timbered and built in 1871-1872, is one of three wooden homes still standing in central Szczecin.
Several are: the Krahnstöver Villa, the Martin Quistorp Villa, the villa at Solskiego 4, the Herman Schultz Villa and the villa at Hoene-Wrońskiego 1 are all registered, the last one since 2020.
