The past of free-growing in the city is very rich and dates back to the 18th century. Masons were many well-known bristles. What's it like now? “Prestice” was the first to scope the representatives of the lodge. Jan Kotarbiński and Eligiusz Ryś – Lodge Officers The 3 Circuses, among others, told about the spheres of activities of the Szczecin freemulators, what goals they set before each other, whether the 3 Circuses is simply a continuationist of the German Masonic Ice and who can belong to it.

There are respective hypotheses about the emergence of masonry. The first or-ganisation comprising respective beds and forming a teryo-rial structure, present called obedience, was the large Lodge of London-nu bound on 17 June 1717 at the London tavern under Goose and Ruszt.
