Lentz Villa
The historic August Lentz Villa is a fine example of the changing and fluctuating fortunes of many of Szczecin’s renowned bourgeois estates. From the splendour of the Factory residence, which is a testimony to the ostentation of it’s creator, through to a modern stylish salon, itself an important center housing a private collection, then on to the military headquarters once used by the German Wehrmacht and later by the Soviet Red Army. It also functioned temporarily as an administration seat for the Church, being designated as a potential site to house a Bishop. It later functioned as a “Youth Palace,” intended to educate young socialists. In practice it was a centre of much creative work and holds a sentimental place in the memories of many generations of the residents of Szczecin. On January 1, 2021, a new chapter began in the history of the Lentz Villa with a new cultural institution being established within which aims to create an inspiring and creative interpretation of the history and heritage of a place that is unique to both the old and contemporary bourgeois culture of Szczecin.
