Schlieff house in Gdańsk, Gothic house at Chlebnicka Street, Gdańsk, Poland.

The Schlieff house features a monumental glass facade decorated with stone details, vertical lisens, and windows crowned with Gothic ogee arches.

Built in 1520, this late Gothic tenement remained a central part of Gdańsk for three centuries until structural issues led to its demolition in 1822.

The building represents traditional middle-class architecture from medieval Gdańsk, with its facade incorporating the Schlieff family coat of arms at the center merlon.

Located at Chlebnicka Street 14, the current structure houses the Academy of Fine Arts, while the original facade stands in Potsdam on Peacock Island.

The building's original facade was purchased by King Frederick William III of Prussia for three hundred thalers and transported to create a romantic castle exterior.
