2 Starowiślna Street in Gdańsk, Manor house in Nowy Port, Gdańsk, Poland
2 Starowiślna Street is a two-story manor house with a mansard roof located in Gdańsk. The structure stands near the mouth of the Vistula River and features brick construction with classical facade elements.
Merchant Matthias Broschke built the manor house in the late 1700s. The Fischer family purchased the property in 1804 and operated a brewery there for an extended period.
The brewery beside the manor probably dates from 1708 and was in Fischer hands from 1804; barrel lids carried the words "seit 1804 im Besitz der Familie Fischer". Beer and liqueurs went to Scandinavia, Belgium and the Netherlands, and about half the spruce black beer extract was shipped to England until 1914. The site's closeness to the port canal aided the trade.
The building has been abandoned since 2006 and is not open to the public, with protective fencing surrounding the site. Visitors can view the architecture from the outside, though the interior remains inaccessible.
The brewery's barrels were branded "seit 1804 im Besitz der Familie Fischer", marking the family's ownership since 1804. Richard Fischer (1818–1888), a city councillor, had the district's streets paved and gave poorer residents spring water to drink; Nowy Port's Fischerstrasse, today Rybołowców, bore his name.
