Lentz Villa – the Jewel of Szczecin’s Westend with a Living History

Lentz Villa is one of the most impressive and intriguing residences in Szczecin. Built between 1888 and 1889 for industrialist August Lentz, it dazzles with elegance and architectural flair, blending elements of Renaissance, Mannerism, and Baroque – a style known as the French costume. Located in the prestigious Westend district (now Łękno), it was a symbol of prestige and wealth from the start. Unfortunately, the founder did not enjoy it for long – he passed away five years after construction was completed.
