Uphagen's House, 18th-century merchant house museum in Gdańsk, Poland
Uphagen's House is a merchant residence from the 1700s located in Gdańsk's city center. Its rooms contain original wooden furniture, household objects, and decorative items arranged to show how residents actually lived and worked.
The house was constructed in 1776 for merchant Johann Uphagen when Gdańsk was a major trading port. It was carefully rebuilt in the 1990s after being destroyed during the Second World War.
The house shows how merchants lived and conducted business in Gdańsk's trading community. You can see how they received guests in formal rooms and how the family gathered in the dining area, all reflected in the carefully arranged spaces.
The house sits on a main street in the old town and is easy to reach on foot. You can visit on most days and explore at your own pace through the different floors and rooms.
The house was reassembled piece by piece using furniture and objects from different sources to recreate its original state. This approach allows you to see not just a restored building, but a carefully researched reconstruction of an entire household.
