The Royal Granary in Gdańsk is located on the Ołowianka Island, on the Motława River. The first plans to erect a new granary date back to the Thirteen Years' War (1454-1466), but the implementation began much, much later - only at the beginning of the 17th century. The first construction works were initiated around 1605, and they were initially led by the famous architect Abraham van der Blocke, the same one who made the façade of the famous Artus Court. However, the work was completed several years later by Jan Strakowski. The building was made of brick and - what is very unusual - it stands with a longer wall along the Motława River. Due to its strictly economic role, the building received relatively small windows, but also a very good - for those times - ventilation system. The roof was gable. The granary happily survived, in better or worse condition, the turmoil of the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries as well as the Napoleonic wars and the First World War. However, it was seriously damaged in 1945. However, the reconstruction of the facility took place relatively quickly. Currently, the Royal Granary serves as a luxury hotel.
