Ducal Castle, Szczecin, West Pomeranian, Poland, Europe
The Ducal Castle in Szczecin, Poland, was the seat of the dukes of Pomerania-Stettin of the House of Pomerania, who ruled the Duchy of Pomerania from 1121 to 1637. Barnim the Great of Pomerania-Stettin erected the castle within Szczecin's walls against the will of the burghers in 1346. An older Pomeranian burgh had been leveled in 1249. In 1490 the castle was partially reconstructed for Bogusław X's wedding with Anna Jagiellonka (daughter of king Casimir IV Jagiellon). Between 1573−1582 the castle was rebuilt again, this time in the mannerist style for duke John Frederick by Italian stonemasons according to design by Wilhelm Zachariasz Italus. Two new wings were added to close the courtyard before the medieval southern and eastern wings. The main gate was adorned with ducal crest, the eastern wing was enhanced and the northern wing was intended for chapel. In 1648, due to the tenets of the Peace of Westphalia, the castle become a seat of Swedish governor. Before 1705 another reconstruction occurred to prepare the castle for Queen of Poland - Catherine Opalińska, who lived here with her daughters Anna and Marie Leszczyńska (future Queen of France) and a small court between 1705-1711. In 1711 king Stanisław Leszczyński, who sought refuge before chasing him Saxon and Russian forces, joined his wife and daughters at the castle. After the Great Northern War, in 1720, the city of Szczecin become a Prussian property and the castle was allocated to the garrison commander Christian August, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst, whose daughter was Sophie Friederike Auguste (future Catherine II of Russia). Under Prussian rule in the 19th century many renaissanse elements in the castle were devastated (arcades, attics, vaulting). Eventually about 60% of the castle was destroyed during World War II (August 1944). Shortly after the war between 1958-1980, it was rebuilt with some modifications. The castle was restored to its original 16th century appearance according to 1653 engraving by Matthäus Merian (among others).

Waly Chrobrego, Szczecin, West Pomeranian, Poland, Europe
Waly Chrobrego is a terrace with a length of about 500 m in Szczecin on a slope along the Oder. The famous urban and architectural foundation co-creating, along with the Main Building of the National Museum in Szczecin, Pomeranian Dukes Castle and Cathedral Church. St. James Odra silhouette of the city, visible from the main access roads to the east running over bridges and overpasses. Designed and built according to the concept Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau the years 1902-1921 at the initiative of Mayor Hermann Haken, in honor of whom it was originally named terrace. In 1873 began the demolition of the eighteenth-century fortifications Szczecin. The first concept of building land at the decommissioned Fort Leopold lofty bank of the river was established in 1876. From 1878 to 1907 held the office of Mayor of Szczecin Hermann Haken. Thanks to his great commitment of another concept was developed in 1894, and in 1901 it was decided to implement. In the years 1902-1907 was formed at the height of 19.3 m above sea level (19 m above the Western Oder), terrace, designed by urban Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau. At the top of embankments along the Oder was the tree-lined walkway, ending at the edge of the semicircular squares. Just below them there are two symmetrical way downhill running down along the ground slopes toward the center of the foundation. The transverse axis boardwalk was built slightly lower semi-circular terrace, central rusticated supported by a retaining wall, flanked by two smaller terraces, on which rise pavilions, scenic, oval-shaped domes supported on Ionic columns. In the middle of the central terrace erected a stone sculpture of a man fighting with centaur carved by Ludwig Manzla. On the axis, the retaining wall dug a semicircular niche, included in the two projections on the sides, with niches for statues. At the foot of półkonchowe placed wells. This composition provides the backdrop for a vast fountain. The crown of the wall, the stone balustrade of the coats of arms of cities of Pomerania. Before the fountain was built two light towers stylized lighthouses. Complex combined with waterfront terraces Oder two flights of stairs running through curves along the retaining wall of the central terrace. In the years 1906-1912 in the northern part of the terrace was built and designed by Paul Kieschke architectural complex for contemporary Regency Szczecin, which now has its headquarters Provincial Office. In the center, the construction of the building of the Municipal Museum, designed by Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau - now the National Museum in Szczecin. It was built from the wing of the Oder and side elevations. Construction stopped in 1913 - planned wing of the town ever built. Further south, the museum was built two buildings: in the years 1902-1905 the Social Security designed by Emil Drews and the Chief Directorate of Customs begun by K. Hinckledeyna, ending in the years 1918-1921 by Osterwolda. Plans were on the verge of never built the tower. Today, the two connected buildings are located Naval Academy. The museum extends in the direction of regular, rectangular square, with a complex of terraces, leveling the difference between the square and the upstream area of the city, on top of which there is a park with an irregular plan. In the center of the terrace was originally a monument of Emperor Frederick III. Currently, there stands the statue of Adam Mickiewicz concrete chisel Slawomir Lewinski, unveiled in 1960. Hakenterasse survived the war without major damage. The post-war interventions related primarily to the interior of buildings. Part of the building was adapted for the Museum of Contemporary Theatre, changed the final tower and liquidated corner pavilions on the roof. In the niches on either side of the fountain erected statue of John of Kolna and Wyszaka. Town names changed to Polish Western Pomerania. From the western side of the Naval Academy was built swimming pool and gym. In the basement of the northern slope adjacent pavilion and restaurant built into the Brave. At the edge of a wooden boardwalk buildings are located in Columbus and Colorado restaurants. After 1989, graying purified elevations of terraces, street lamps and the Main Building of the National Museum in Szczecin and the Regional Office and partially reconstructed ancient paintings Hallow in both buildings. Also restored terrace retaining wall plaque commemorating dedykacyjną Hermann Haken. The whole premise is one of the most interesting and monumental urban and architectural complexes of the early twentieth century in this part of Europe. In the center is the axial symmetrical composition combining central terrace building MuzeumMuzeum and town square. The buildings on the sides of the Museum have been less regular throws.
