Alter Schwede is called the oldest town house in Wismar. The building was built around 1380 in the late brick Gothic style on the Wismar market square. The term Old Swede came about later, however, in connection with the coming to terms with the Swedish era in Wismar in the 19th century, which is also referred to by one of the Swedish heads in the portal above the entrance door.

The Old Swede is the oldest town house in the Hanseatic city of Wismar and was built around 1380. Commissioned by a wealthy merchant, the Gothic brick house was initially used as a commercial building. It is worth seeing above all because of its special construction with the stepped gables typical of the time and the richly decorated windows. Initially, the ground floor was used for living and business premises. In 1878 the first inn "Zum Alten Schweden" was opened, which gave the house its name, which has survived to this day, and which was based there for around 100 years.
