Loitz House
Kamienica Loitzów
A late Gothic mansion of the 16th-century banking family Loitz, known as the “Fuggers of the North.”
The Loitz House was built between 1539 and 1547 as the residence of the Loitz family, wealthy merchants and bankers of Szczecin. The family was known as the “Fuggers of the North” and lent money to royal houses in Poland and Scandinavia. The building blends late Gothic and Renaissance styles, and its exterior features finely carved stone reliefs. It now houses an art school and is generally not open to the public inside, so it is best admired from the outside. It is located between the castle and the Old Town Hall.
