The freestanding, two-story, clinker-clad, historicist Wilhelminian-era post office building, with its dominant side risalit as a stepped gable and its east gable with plaster panels, was built at the end of the 19th century by the Imperial Post Office. The Pomeranian griffin coat of arms adorns the gable.

The two-story, clinker-clad, historicist building, with two side gable projections and a striking corner turret with an octagonal bell dome and lantern, is a dominant urban feature. It was built in the last quarter of the 19th century. It housed the Ratskeller (town hall cellar) adjacent to the Gothic town hall, as well as a drugstore. The building was converted and renovated into the city's administrative building, Building 3, in 2019 as part of urban development funding. It houses the building, registration, and regulatory departments. Since 2006, a relief by Gisela Krüger on the building commemorates the last witch trial in Grimmen in 1697, against Anna Maria Kröger, who was burned at the stake. An unusually high number of such trials are said to have taken place in Grimmen prior to this.

The building and grounds are owned by the Paffenholz family, who have transformed it into a beautiful garden. The family transformed the yard, formerly a concrete yard, into a flower oasis with a vegetable garden and a deadwood pile for wildlife.
