    Everything you see was destroyed in WW2 by the German and USSR army while trying to occupy the city in 1941 and 1944.

    The landmarks you see in the picture are:

    House of the Blackheads Dates from 14th century, rebuild in 1996-1999.

    St. Peter’s Church Dates from 13th century (1209y), rebuild in 1954-1983.

    ​

    Town square today.
