Schlieff house in Gdańsk, Gothic house at Chlebnicka Street, Gdańsk, Poland.
The Schlieff house is a late Gothic tenement in Gdańsk featuring a monumental stone facade with vertical ribs and windows crowned with pointed arches. The facade displayed intricate stone details and the family coat of arms at its center.
Built in 1520, the house was a central part of Gdańsk for 3 centuries until structural decay prompted its demolition in 1822. After its destruction, the facade was purchased by Prussian King Frederick William III and transported to Potsdam.
The building represents traditional middle-class architecture from medieval Gdańsk, with its facade incorporating the Schlieff family coat of arms at the center merlon.
The original building occupied Chlebnicka 14 and now houses the Academy of Fine Arts. The original facade cannot be seen at this location as it is displayed on Peacock Island near Potsdam.
The facade was purchased by King Frederick William III for three hundred thalers and repurposed as a romantic decoration on Peacock Island. This unexpected fate transformed the Gdańsk structure into a European traveler between two nations.
