The House Under Gutenberg, a historic tenement home, features a beautiful eclectic facade with walls and pink windows. Architecture-lovers will find it fascinating, as it combines all kinds of styles: neo-Gothic, neo-Renaissance, and Art Nouveau across its five stories. Find all kinds of architectural details here too, like bay windows, gables, and relief images of figures who contributed to developing the art of printing.
The nod to printing is not random: the land was purchased by a prominent printer at the time, who immediately set out to construct a building there in 1896 with a design from architects including Franciszek Chełmiński, who also famously designed the Scheibler Palace and the Kindermann Palace.
It was once the site of the city’s oldest newspaper, until 1915 when the offices were closed by German authorities. Today, it’s home to a number of different offices including the city’s oldest bookstore.
