Lagoon of Szczecin or Bay of Szczecin (Polish: Zalew Szczeciński; German: Stettiner Haff, Oderhaff) is a inland water basin in Poland and Germany situated in the south-western part of the Baltic Sea in the mouth of Oder River north of the city of Szczecin.
Area is 687 sq. km and maximum depth is 6 metres. The lagoon is crossed with a south-north deepened water route with depth of 10 metres connecting the Szczecin seaport via the Oder river with Swina strait, Swinoujscie seaport and the Baltic Sea. This allows large ships to enter the Szczeci seaport.
In a winter campaign of 1121–1122, Szczecin was subjugated by Bolesław II of Poland, who invited the Catholic bishop Otto of Bamberg to baptize the citizens (1124).
Szczecin's architectural style is mainly influenced by those of the last half of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century: Academic art and Art Nouveau.
