European Route of Brick Gothic

The European Route of Brick Gothic (EuRoB) is a tourist route connecting cities with Brick Gothic architecture in three countries along the Baltic Sea: Denmark, Germany and Poland.

Haderslev Cathedral
Wulflamhaus in Stralsund, Germany
Copernicus House in Toruń, Poland
Cultural and Tourist Information Center, Ducal Castle, Szczecin

Many of the cities also have a history as Hanseatic League city, and some are related to German Ostsiedlung or the Teutonic Order, consequently the route is managed by the German Association for Housing, Urban and Spatial Development.

Sites along the route

The headquarters of the EuRoB organization are located at the "German Association for Housing, Urban and Spatial Development" in Berlin.
