Just outside the current boundaries of the International Fairgrounds, this long and imposing neo-Renaissance complex was one of the key structures built for the 1929 Polish General Exhibition (PWK). Known as the ‘Government Palace,’ it hosted governmental exhibitions and served as a prominent administrative and ceremonial centre during the event. After the exhibition, the building was transferred to the University of Poznań and is now named after Heliodor Święcicki, the university’s founder and first rector.
This palatial building is so big you can only get a good look at it from the air.
