About

Located in the very center of downtown Gdańsk, nearby the famous Solidarity Square, building 89A of the Gdańsk Shipyard is a rare gem of European post-industrial architecture. Before World War II, it was used by the German Kriegsmarine as a U-boot assembly plant. After the war, it was converted to peaceful purposes. Since mid-2004, under the name CENTRUM STOCZNIA GDAŃSKA (Gdańsk Shipyard Center), it serves as the seat of the European Culture and Education Centre.
