Szczecin Voivodeship Office, Administrative building in Szczecin, Poland
Description
Szczecin Voivodeship Office is an administrative building in Szczecin with two towers reaching 72 meters high that display northern Renaissance architectural style. The structure features decorated facade elements and houses multiple departments across interconnected spaces within its large complex.
History
Construction of this administrative complex began in 1906 on a site in the city center. The project required extensive earthworks due to the remains of an earlier fortification that had to be removed.
Culture
The building showcases decorative elements and ornaments from its original period, visible in spaces like the main hall and grand staircase. These details reflect the craftsmanship invested in creating this regional administrative center.
Practical
The building is visible from the street, and its distinctive twin towers make it easy to spot from a distance in the city center. Access to the interior may be restricted since it serves as an active government office, so visitors should check beforehand if tours or public access are available.
Did you know?
The building was constructed on concrete foundations that extend deep below street level, representing a remarkable feat of engineering. Despite the destruction that affected much of the city during World War II, this structure survived intact.
