Dom UphagenaUphagen's House stands at 12 Długa Street and is the only burgher tenement house in Gdańsk restored with its interior. A brick building was erected here at the end of the 15th century and its remnants are still in the cellars of the present house. In the following centuries its owners changed and the house underwent numerous modifications. In 1775 it was bought and reconstructed by John Uphagen, a merchant, amateur historian and bibliophile. After his death the almost intact house remained the property of the Uphagens until the beginning of the 20th century. In 1911 a museum devoted to interior design was opened here, which remained open until 1944 when its décor and furnishings were moved outside Gdańsk due to the approaching military operations. In 1981 the house was donated to the Gdańsk Historical Museum and after restoration it was opened for visitors on 7th June 1998. The preserved elements of interior decoration, including wood panelling and stoves, were installed inside. Fabrics and window hooks were restored. Furnishings such as furniture, musical instruments, pictures and ceramics come mostly from the second half of the 18th century. On every last Sunday of the month "Music Sunday Concerts at Uphagen House" are staged here.

Katownia i Wieża WięziennaThe Torture House and Prison Tower belong to the Medieval Pre-Gate Complex of Długa Street. The Torture House was rebuilt in 1593 by a Flemish architect, Antoni van Obberghen, and the Prison Tower was raised to its present height in 1508-1509 by Michał Enkinger. Until modern earthworks were erected in the second half of the 16th century, the walls of the gate connected both buildings over a moat filled with water. After completing adaptation work the Torture House will become the seat of the Amber Museum, a part of the Gdańsk Historical Museum.

Ratusz Głównego MiastaThe Main Hall of the City was built between 1379 and 1492. The spire over the 80m high tower, put up by master Dirk Daniels from New Zealand, is crowned with a gilded metal figure of King Sigismund Augustus. The three wings of the building around the yard as we see it today were completed in 1593-96. The interior is decorated in the Dutch Mannerist style.

Dwór ArtusaThe Artus Court  was given its present shape in 1477, following the fire that had destroyed the previous 14th century building on the site. The facade was transformed by Abraham van den Blocke. The Mannerist doorway is adorned with royal portraits. The Court's elegant interior hides a huge, 12 metre high, Renaissance tiled stove, a mid-16th. masterpiece by George Stelzener. The decorative tiles were painted by master Jost, who used this opportunity to portray the eminent European rulers of the times. The likenesses are interspersed with coats of arms, personifications of virtues, and planets. The site was the meeting place of the Gdańsk city notables.
