The most valuable and oldest building in Warnemünde is the Bailiwick. It was once a royal Danish palace (1250), a princely bailiwick, a manor house, the seat of the Swedish and French bailiffs and the seat of the city bailiff (1605). The Bailiwick has always been a hospitable house with a brewery and tavern. Today it is the seat of the Tourist Office and Tourist Information. You can also get married in the Warnemünde Bailiwick. The many love locks directly opposite the Bailiwick clearly show how popular weddings are in the seaside resort.
The house "Am Strom 53" housed the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch in 1907/08. He lived with the pilot Nielsen and his family. Edvard Munch is well known for his expressionist masterpiece The Scream. During his time in Warnemünde, Munch experienced an artistic crisis. He was plagued by depression and sought rest to find himself. The simple fisherman's house was listed as a historic monument in 1990 and has been owned by the Edvard-Munch-Haus e.V. Warnemünde since 1994. As a cultural meeting place, it now shows changing exhibitions of modern art.
Alexandrinenstraße is one of the very first streets in Warnemünde along with the street "Am Strom". It used to be called the Achtereeg, which means back row in High German. Fishermen, sailors and pilots lived here in small gabled houses, which mostly consisted of simple half-timbering. Only a small distance was kept between the houses – the so-called Tüschen are at most 1.5 m wide. Just wide enough for a pregnant cow to pass through.
