The medieval building known as "Alter Schwede" or Old Swede was built in 1380 as a town house with living quarters and commercial premises below and storage space above. It was not until the late 19th century, when it became a restaurant, that the building was called "Alter Schwede" as a reminder of the period from 1648 to 1803 when Wismar was ruled by the Swedes. | |||||||
