It is located at the harbor in Mühlentorvorstadt (near the Peene) and, together with the Kleiner Speicher (Mühlentorvorstadt 8a / Mühlenstraße) and the building Am Speicher (Mühlentorvorstadt 1, today a residential home for the elderly), forms an ensemble of former grain silos. The two silos are located directly opposite each other at the harbor.

Loitz only recovered in the second half of the 18th century from the great city fire of 1701 and the damage from various wars (including the Seven Years' War). The town hall is therefore a visible sign of the city's recovery after a long period of decline.

After 1325, the city wall (predominantly built of fieldstones) and the four gates were erected. This happened in connection with the disputes in the Rügische Erbfolgekrieg (Rügen Succession War) and the securing of the city on the Peene.

The building dates back to the hospital chapel of the St. Jürgen or Georgen Hospital, located northeast of the city in the Middle Ages. The chapel is depicted with a pointed tower on the Loitz veduta at the edge of the Lubin map. Dowager Duchess Sophie Hedwig had the building rebuilt as a cemetery chapel in 1619. The hospital's former cemetery was then used as the municipal cemetery. The round-arched Renaissance portal dates from this period. During the occupation of Swedish Pomerania by Napoleonic troops in 1807, the chapel served as a powder magazine. It was then used as a warehouse and mortuary until it was restored as a church in 1857. During renovations required in 1953, it was renamed the Luther Church. It is used by the parish as a winter church. On the south wall of the church are the gravestones of the royal Swedish district captain of Loitz, Michael Christian Schulemann (1668–1724), and the regimental pastor and assessor of the war consistory, Christian Friderici († 1709).

St. Jacobi is the third of Greifswald's three Gothic brick churches. It was built in the 13th century when a new town was being built. St. Jacobi's Church was particularly connected with the university: the students of the arts faculty had to attend the services and from 1889 to 1989 the academic services took place here.
