Its name recalls that the town belonged to the Swedish crown from 1648 to 1803. The ‘Alter Schwede’ on the east side of the marketplace in Wismar is a similarity impressive example of Gothic gabled house architecture. The brick building, erected around 1380, is of a one-storey design and has a very large stepped gable towering above a portal with a pointed arch.
