The Architecture of the Imperial Resorts and a Magnificent Nature

In the vicinity of your holiday apartment or private holiday home in Heringsdorf, there are plenty of sights to discover. A popular starting point and meeting place is the prominent pier in Heringsdorf. At over 500 meters, it is the longest pier in Germany. The predecessor structure was last destroyed by arson in 1958. Another magnificent pier is located in the district of Ahlbeck. The 280-meter-long bridge dates back to 1899. During the filming of the Loriot movie "Papa ante Portas" in the 1990s, it was renovated. The bridge in Bansin is similarly long, but lacks the grand buildings found on the other two mentioned. Passenger ships regularly travel between the piers, allowing visits to other seaside resorts to be combined through a seaside resort hopping on the waterway. The ships go as far as Poland to the towns of Swinemünde (Świnoujście) and Misdroy (Międzyzdroje). The oldest and most famous building in the town is the so-called White Castle. Built in 1825 by the famous classical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel as Bülow's lodging house. The builder Bülow had other buildings constructed in the vicinity of the Kulm, such as Villa Achterkerke. Stroll along the beach promenade and admire the beauty and elegance of the beach villas or the famous spa architecture built in the 19th century. Some of the buildings house magnificent salons and gentlemen's rooms. Many villas hide exciting stories of their residents and illustrious guests. For example, the painter Lyonel Feininger lived in Villa Oppenheim from 1909 to 1912. Walk past Villa Diana, Villa Augusta, Villa Stadt, and Villa Oechler. All houses here have names. A little further out, in Villa Irmgard, the writer Maxim Gorky cured his tuberculosis in 1922. Today, the villa houses a local museum and a small exhibition commemorating the famous writer. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Kunstpavillon Heringsdorf. In addition to exhibitions, the architecturally interesting building regularly hosts events, concerts, and readings. In the eponymous main town of the island of Usedom, the Harbor Festival plays take place every year. Small but fine, on the other hand, is the private Shell Museum in Heringsdorf. Another attraction is the Manfred von Ardenne Public Observatory. If you want to take a look at distant galaxies, here you have the opportunity in the summer months to observe the starry sky through a 25-cm reflecting telescope. You will notice that there are no churches in the town centers of the newly created seaside resorts. These are located outside the towns, mostly in small forest areas. Nothing should remind visitors of everyday life at home and diminish the joys of vacation. The Church in the Woods and the Ahlbecker Church date back to the 19th century. The Bansin Church was only completed in the 20th century.
