Considering the Hotel Bartan in Gdansk?

The TOP of Gdansk by Pawtuxet
You are likely to see a stork, a unicorn, or a king at the top of the buildings in Gdansk. Be sure to keep a sharp eye. There is so much going on in such a small space, that you can easily miss some of the elements which combine to make an absolutely fascinating environment. The architecture reminded me very much of Amsterdam..and in fact, there is an influence of the Dutch here.
Years ago there was a great deal of wealth here in Gdansk, especially when it was one of the world's busiest shipping centers. . a major trade route. Hence, the businessmen built shrines to their success..which are preserved for us to enjoy today.
