Old Customs House (Il Casale), Wismar

The building of the old customs house at the Wismar harbor was erected in 1888 as a two-story neo-Gothic brick building. The main facade with a pointed arch portal faces the harbor. The stepped gable is decorated with panels.
The “Il Casale” customs house offers the full range of refinements and specialties of Sicilian and Italian cuisine, as well as a very special atmosphere. Sicilian flair and Italian cuisine to enjoy in historical surroundings.

Customs House
Built in 1888 at the entrance to the Old Harbor. The entry into force of the Mecklenburg customs laws in 1868 and Wismar's membership of the Zollverein established the upswing in the city's economy. The former customs office building, Spiegelberg 9, no longer met the changed requirements, which is why this neo-Gothic new building was built with a particularly richly designed stepped gate.
