Commandantenhus, Military administrative building at Old Market Square, Stralsund, Germany.

The three-story baroque structure features a high gabled central section, sloped roof, and exhibits early elements of classical architecture design.

The building served as headquarters for Swedish garrison commanders from 1748 to 1751, replacing a smaller medieval structure at the same location.

The central gable displays a large coat of arms combining Swedish lion, Pomeranian griffin, and Stralsund municipal symbols created by sculptor Heinrich Zenichowski.

Located at Alter Markt 14, the building underwent extensive renovation between 2002 and 2003, with a café now operating on the ground floor.

The Commandantenhus forms part of the Swedish Route heritage trail and represents the period when Stralsund belonged to Swedish territory.
