15 Stary Rynek Oliwski

The brick structure displays Gothic architecture with eastern gables adorned with Gothic recesses and northern walls supported by robust buttresses.

Built in 1400, this medieval residence served as the entrance to Oliwa Abbey and contained a chapel dedicated to Saint Bernard until Prussian times.

The building earned its name 'House of Plague' in 1709 when nine monks died there during an epidemic, marking its place in local history.

Located at 15 Stary Rynek Oliwski, the structure functions as headquarters for ROM nr 3 and houses the Stara Oliwa association since 2004.

Two original 18th-century sundials remain preserved on the building's exterior, marking time as they have done for over two centuries.
