The oldest permanent part of the spatial structure in Stargard is Osetnie settlement, located about 1.5 km southwest of the city later, the wet meadows wide at this point Ina valley. A large city with a diameter of 200-300 m [53], now almost illegible in the field, was a place of refuge for the inhabitants of nearby settlements in non-defense Strachocina, Ulikowie and Stargard.By mid-tenth century castle was abandoned due to the creation of a new center in the city today - perhaps the name was Zitarigroda (Stargard, an old castle), which appeared in the sources for the first time in the year 1124 [54].The second stargardzki castle was built between the ninth and tenth centuries at an artificially leveled area, surrounded on the east and north torsion Ina here before, near the river crossing and existing here since the beginning of the ninth century nieobronnej sediments [55]. Strengthening of the castle is the oldest semi-wooden shaft, replaced the X-XII century box body filled with boulders. Castle functioned from 1295 years, when the prince gave his area of town. Remains of the castle hill is now in the vicinity of the tower Białogłówki at the northeast corner of Old Town.Situated between the castle and Little Ina village took over the role the borough. Along the streets became moszczonych wood, wooden hut, and the whole area was surrounded by a shaft of the stockade. At the end of the twelfth century on a hill on the west side of Little Ina Hospitallers settled. Around the house the monastic settlement was established soon, expanding in an easterly direction, towards położonemu directly on the river disposal, the trading. Not yet built-up area between the village and bazaar came shortly monastery. Augustinian. In this way, in the northern part of the Old Town was later extended across Ina team settler, whose axis was binding all members, running from west to east, trade route from Szczecin to Chociwla and continue through to the shores of the Baltic Białogard.The tide of population that followed the granting of municipal rights Stargard, led to further increase the built area.Physiographic conditions dopuszczały only territorial

development in the south of the existing settlements team. The final boundaries of the city had to be fixed to the end of the thirteenth century, when they started to climb the walls [56].Medieval Stargard was surrounded by the south-east, east, and partly midnight Ina main riverbed and climbed westward to the elongated hill towering over the valley. The difference in level between a point located at most (pan, next to the church. John) and the lowest place (gate Mill) is approximately 20 m. The area covered by the walls of small flows Ina, dividing it into two unequal parts. Until 1945, the plan of the Old Town were visible signs of settlement in the form of przedlokacyjnego within existing streets Boleslaw and Gdansk with a series of cross streets and a more regular grid building blocks set out in 1253.Already in the fourteenth century, beyond the fortifications, two suburbs known as Wik (German Age) and Kepa (German Werder). In the fifteenth century there were also two smaller eastern suburbs, on the road to St. Chociwla and western. Jobst, which took the name from the chapel and hospital, located in the area. Residents of the suburbs had their own government, in the case of Kepa maintained until the early nineteenth century, and their main occupation was agriculture and horticulture. Among the suburbs next to the building of houses were numerous outbuildings. Each of these settlements had its own chapel: Wik and the chapel of St. Kepa. Gertrude, a suburb of the eastern chapel of St. Jacob. Before the gate Pyrzyce hospitals were grouped and associated chapels three charities: St. Spirit, Holy.George and shelter for the poor [57].Dimensional shape, which obtained the city by the end of the fifteenth century, has survived largely unchanged until the first half of the nineteenth century. In 1625 tax records showed 780 houses within the walls, 105 and 75 on a clump of Wiku. For many centuries, has not undergone the changes in the road network: the route from Szczecin to the city ran through the gate of Midsummer, and leave them in the gate shafts, then branching out towards Chociwla and Suchania. Roads to Pyrzyce and ran from the gate Skalin pyrzycki.Only in 1845 was pierced in the walls of the ramp Suchania (so-called New Gate). Construction of the railway line along with the station about 1 mile west of Old Town led to rapid growth of suburbs Jobst. There arose a lot of homes, mostly Jobststrasse (now the streets and march Stefan Czarnecki. Pilsudski), erected a few official buildings, water supply water tower and a small Gothic church (now the Orthodox Church. St. Peter and Paul). To the north of the Old City focused factories, railway sidings were led there, and located Stargard Narrow Gauge Railway Station [58]. To the east of Clumps slowly grew a new suburb on the road to Suchania. In the interwar period there was a further spatial development of the city towards the west. The railway line along the road to Szczecin as a result of the planned activities of so-called urban built. urban settlement, consisting of two houses and flats surrounded by greenery, with basic facilities and social service.Rapid population growth after World War II put before the Polish urban planners improve significantly the task of housing stock.After exhausting the possibility of repair and adaptation of existing buildings on the SFE solution at that time widespread throughout the country - building blocks of typical residential units.Buildings of this type has been created with today's streets: Wyszynski, Pilsudski and built several large settlements such asos. West, pers. Pyrzycki, pers. Summer.Development of the Old City was a separate issue of urban planning and

North Tower, PapalNobody could answer the question why the old Gothic church of St. Mary in Stargard has two towers, but only one of them - the North - is a great and magnificent, and the second - south - lower, it is clear that it was incomplete.According to legend, disputes about what is to be St. Mary's Church and to be its towers, broke before the start of construction at the end of the thirteenth century. At that time ruled by princes of Pomerania of the Griffin dynasty. Rajcowie agreed only on the question that has to be a church so big and wonderful that aroused jealousy inhabitants of Szczecin, and even Poznan. But when we began to discuss how much the church has to have towers, councilors are divided and there was a tremendous uproar, the mayor led the session with difficulty.Oldest councilor - Luke, the guild guide the church - said:There is one God in heaven and a pope, his viceroy in the earth, so the church should have one tower, but the steep and high, so that prayers could fly to heaven sooner.When it seemed that everyone accepted his statement, spoke thick, red-faced merchant, councilor Henry, who had his cloth stores in Hamburg and Bremen:Well Luke us righteous, but that's not the whole truth, after all, we know that we have the world's two rulers - the Pope in ecclesiastical matters and the emperor in secular matters, therefore, the pope will spend one tower, and the second emperor.Still others, among them the biggest hothead, an older guild of shoemakers - Krzych Dratwa were behind this, that instead of the emperor, the prince paid one tower:After all, it is our lives and closer.Day was approaching towards the west, and there was no consent.However, the Church began to build, and after years of a high tower was erected north and called it the Pope. As the second tower was to be increased imperial, but then the war in Europe broke out between the emperor and the pope about the primacy of the rule over the world and no one knew who would win. The south tower was erected not also because the architecture became fashionable in one tower in the churches.

diakonat, mieszkanie organisty, a w 1938 wykupiony został przez władze miasta na

siedzibę Muzeum Regionalnego. Dekorację domu stanowią skromne blendy, w których

umieszczono prostokątne okna. Ryglowe szczyty pochodzą z XIX wieku, pierwotnie posiadały

zapewne gotycki wystrój.

Budynek środkowy, pochodzący z XVI wieku, użytkowany był przez proboszcza, a następnie

przez diakonat. Dekorowany typowym dla tego okresu, częściowo wzorowane

na ratuszu elementy wystroju: blendy, o późnogotyckich łukach, gzymsy oraz zalążkowe
