Szczecin Gate Pyrzyce

Highlight • Historical Site

The Szczecin Gate, located in the northern part of the walls, was incorporated into the existing defense system around the mid-19th century. 14th century and added in the second quarter of the 16th century. Currently preserved in a vestigial form, i.e. a pointed arch passage (after restoration). The walls are made of ceramic bricks with Wendish bond. The facades are unplastered, with blendes with various shapes of lintel arches, divided by dentil and band friezes and topped with battlement. It was a two-stage gate: the lower part had a quadrilateral plan and had four storeys; the upper one - with an octagonal tambour, surrounded by corner (cylindrical and two-story) turrets and topped with a pyramidal dome.
The complex of medieval defensive walls in Pyrzyce is one of the most interesting and relatively well-preserved urban fortifications in Western Pomerania, with outstanding scientific and historical values.
The main ring of walls, gates, towers, lookouts, gates and elements of the embankments - embankments and moats (plants and gardens) - have been preserved.
defensive walls from the second half of the 13th century, approximately 2,000 meters long. In the 15th century, their height was increased to 7-9 m, and the foregates, towers and lookouts were expanded. After 1650, some of the lookouts were turned into poor houses. After the war, some of the walls were restored. The following towers have been preserved to this day: the Owl, Powder, Ice, Pijack and Monk towers. The embankments from the 13th century surrounded the city for a length of 2,250 m. Together with the moat and mill ponds, they provided sufficient protection against invasions. In the years 1830 - 1845 the embankments were turned into a walking promenade. The moats were partially buried and turned into gardens

Chapel of the Holy Spirit and Museum

Highlight • Religious Site

The Chapel of the Holy Spirit was built of granite blocks, likely in the late 13th century. A hospital once adjoined it. It was rebuilt in the early 15th century, and further alterations took place in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1945, the building was destroyed. Between 1967 and 1969, the chapel was rebuilt to house the public library. A Gothic portal and several details, including a frieze of rosettes and bas-reliefs depicting animal silhouettes, have been preserved on the northern façade.

Since August 2013, the chapel has housed the Department of Tradition – the "Museum of the Pyrzyce Region" of the Pyrzyce Public Library. It houses collections related to the history of the Pyrzyce Region.
