Former Lutheran church in Świnoujście, Historic church tower in Świnoujście, Poland.
The former Lutheran church tower stands as a preserved monument featuring early 20th-century brick architecture with a tall steeple that dominates the cityscape of this Baltic coastal city.
Constructed around 1904 by architect Fritz Gottlieb, the church served the German Lutheran community until suffering damage during World War II in 1945, with the main building demolished in 1962.
The structure represents the religious heritage of the German-speaking Lutheran population that lived in Świnoujście before the post-war demographic changes transformed the region's cultural composition.
Located at Paderewskiego Street 7, the remaining tower now functions as an observation platform and café, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding areas to visitors.
The tower is the sole surviving remnant of what was once a 67-meter-high church, now serving as both a heritage monument and a functional viewing point for tourists.
