24 Obrońców Westerplatte Street in Sopot, Neoclassical villa in Sopot, Poland.
Description
The villa at 24 Obrońców Westerplatte Street is a neoclassical residence featuring terracotta sculptures of Greek muses, pilasters supporting a balcony, and an orangery building in the garden. The facade displays typical early 20th century design and continues to serve as a private residence.
History
The villa was built around 1900 as a residence for Gdańsk merchant Johann Immanuel Berger. After World War II, the building was converted into a School of Fine Arts before returning to residential use.
Culture
The building represents classical architecture within Sopot's architectural landscape, which differs from the Gothic-Baroque style of Gdańsk and the modernist approach of nearby Gdynia. This villa shows how different Polish coastal cities developed their own architectural identities.
Practical
The villa is a protected monument in private ownership, so viewing is only possible from outside, but the interior is not open to visitors. The best views of the classical architecture and garden side can be seen from the street.
Did you know?
In 1985, this classical villa was used as a filming location for the Polish horror film Medium, which explored supernatural phenomena. The film was among the first Polish productions to tackle the horror genre.
